What is a registered remittance provider?
A registered remittance provider is a business that provides money transfer or remittance services in Australia and is registered with AUSTRAC under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006. The AUSTRAC Remittance Sector Register lists every registered remittance network provider, remittance affiliate and independent remittance dealer operating in Australia.
Remittance registration is a regulatory registration, not a financial product licence. It records the money transfer provider on the AUSTRAC remittance register and subjects the business to AML/CTF obligations including customer identification, transaction monitoring and suspicious matter reporting.
Categories of remittance registration
AUSTRAC recognises three remittance registration categories: registered remittance network provider (RNP), registered remittance affiliate (operating under an RNP), and registered independent remittance dealer. Each category appears on the AUSTRAC remittance register with its own registration status.
AML/CTF obligations of remittance providers
Registered remittance providers must comply with AML/CTF program, customer due diligence, transaction reporting (IFTI, TTR, SMR) and record-keeping obligations under the AML/CTF Act. The remittance registration on this register is the gateway to those obligations.
Who must register as a remittance provider
Any business providing money transfer or remittance services in Australia — including international money transfer operators, remittance corridors, remittance affiliates and small independent remittance dealers — must register on the AUSTRAC remittance register before offering services. Providing remittance services unregistered is an offence.
How to use this remittance provider search
Every row in the remittance register below is a clickable money transfer provider record. You can refine the remittance register search by state, paginate through results, or open a remittance provider detail page to see the full AUSTRAC registration record.
Search by remittance provider name
Type the remittance business name into the search box to run a money transfer provider lookup across the AUSTRAC remittance register. The same search box also covers AFSL, credit and DCE records — useful for businesses operating across more than one Australian register.
Search by remittance registration number, ABN or ACN
If you already have a remittance provider's AUSTRAC registration number, ABN or ACN, the search box accepts all three identifiers and resolves directly to the matching remittance registration on the register.
Filter the remittance register by state
Use the state filter above the table to narrow the AUSTRAC remittance register to a specific Australian state or territory. Handy when checking remittance providers active in a particular jurisdiction.
About the remittance register data
This remittance provider register is sourced from the public AUSTRAC Remittance Sector Register and refreshed monthly. The footer of every page shows the latest data refresh date applied across the site.
Source and refresh of the remittance register
Remittance data is normalised from the public AUSTRAC remittance register. Registration status, category and identifiers mirror what AUSTRAC publishes — we do not edit or override regulator decisions on any remittance registration.
Officially verifying a remittance registration
For high-stakes confirmation of a remittance provider — onboarding a money transfer counterparty, banking a remittance client, or due diligence on a remittance affiliate — always verify on the official AUSTRAC remittance register. AFSL Search is an independent remittance register lookup, not the official AUSTRAC register.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check a remittance provider in Australia?
Type the remittance business name or registration number into the search box, open the matching record, and confirm the money transfer provider appears on the AUSTRAC remittance register. The record shows the provider name, registration number, category and registration status.
What is the AUSTRAC Remittance Sector Register?
The AUSTRAC Remittance Sector Register is the public list of remittance network providers, remittance affiliates and independent remittance dealers registered with AUSTRAC under Australia's AML/CTF regime. Operating a remittance business unregistered is an offence.
Is a remittance registration the same as an AFSL?
No. A remittance registration is an AUSTRAC AML/CTF registration for money transfer activity. An AFSL is an ASIC financial services licence. Depending on the products offered, a remittance business may need a remittance registration, an AFSL, both, or other authorisations.
What are the categories of remittance registration?
AUSTRAC recognises three remittance registration categories on the remittance register: registered remittance network provider (RNP), registered remittance affiliate (operating under an RNP), and registered independent remittance dealer. Each appears with its own status on the register.
What happens if a money transfer business isn't registered?
Providing remittance or money transfer services in Australia without registering on the AUSTRAC remittance register is an offence under the AML/CTF Act and can result in civil penalties, criminal prosecution and removal from the remittance sector.
