Find answers to common questions about AML compliance, our platform features, and how to get started with AML PROOF.
General Questions
What is AML and the AML Act?
AML (Anti-Money Laundering) is a set of procedures to prevent money laundering, governed in the Czech Republic by Act No. 253/2008 Coll. (the AML Act). For 2026, stricter conditions apply. AML PROOF helps you meet these obligations fully digitally — whether you are an s.r.o., a broker or an independent accountant.
Who is an AML obliged entity in 2026?
The Act defines a range of subjects as obliged entities in § 2 of Act No. 253/2008 Coll. These include not only banks and currency exchanges, but very often accountants, auditors, real-estate agents and lawyers. Our test helps you quickly determine whether you are an obliged entity.
What is an AML questionnaire (template download)?
An AML questionnaire is a form used for initial and ongoing client identification and due diligence (§ 7–9). It collects the ultimate beneficial owner, checks politically exposed person (PEP) status (§ 8(8)) and screens sanctions lists (§ 9(2)(c)). In AML PROOF we digitize and fully automate this form.
What has changed in the AML Act for 2026?
The AML Act, effective from 2026 (amendment to Act No. 253/2008 Coll.), introduced stricter obligations, especially in the area of client identification, an expansion of the range of obliged entities, and stricter penalties for non-compliance. Newly included are some business intermediaries and virtual-asset service providers (§ 2(1)(l)). Obliged entities must have a documented risk assessment (§ 21a) and internal policy system (§ 21). AML PROOF guides you through the entire change step by step.
How do AML registration and client verification work in practice?
Client identification and due diligence (§ 7–9) take place before starting a business relationship or a single transaction over the legal limit. You must verify identity (by ID or commercial register extract), find the ultimate beneficial owner, perform PEP screening (§ 8(8)), and check sanctions lists (§ 9(2)(c)). AML PROOF digitizes this entire process — the client fills out the questionnaire online, and you get the verified result immediately.
How does AML for accountants work in practice?
Accountants are obliged entities under § 2(1)(e). They must have a documented risk assessment (§ 21a), internal policies (§ 21) and conduct client checks (§ 7–9). AML PROOF helps you centralize and maintain all of this regulatory administration.

Pricing & Billing
Can I try AML PROOF for free?
Yes. After setting up your obliged entity profile, you receive 2 full credits free. Internal policies, risk assessment, team management, and archiving are always free — you pay only for AML client checks you actually process.
How does payment for AML cases work?
AML PROOF uses a credit model — Step 3 screening deducts 1 credit per newly screened subject, exporting identification documents in step 3 deducts 1 credit per exported client (at most once per day), each saved Step 4 risk assessment run deducts 1 credit, ending control under Section 15 deducts 1 credit on confirm, and archiving each historical case deducts 1 credit. Steps 1–2 and finalization do not deduct credits. Credits are purchased upfront (from CZK 25 per unit on the 1,000-credit pack) and never expire. We accept payment cards. See the Pricing and Credits page for full details.

No. AML PROOF has no subscription — you buy credits that never expire. You can stop using your account at any time; archived records remain available for the statutory retention period under § 16.
