About us
Frontline experience. Built for Europe.
We're a team of compliance and engineering specialists with a track record of building bank-grade software for global enterprise — now making anti-money laundering automation accessible, affordable and aligned with the EU Single Rulebook.
Meet the teamOur mission
Compliance shouldn't require a law degree.
The regulatory landscape is shifting faster than ever. With the introduction of the EU Single Rulebook and AMLA, the burden on Obliged Entities — from real estate agents to crypto exchanges — has never been heavier.
We built Instant Compliance because we saw businesses drowning in manual paperwork, fragmented national registries, and expensive consulting fees. Our mission is simple: to democratise institutional-grade compliance. We turn complex regulatory requirements into automated, frictionless workflows — so you can focus on growing your business, not chasing paperwork.
Our team
Built by a team enterprise already trusts.
We're not new to high-stakes software. Our team has spent years designing and shipping bank-grade, enterprise-class systems for some of the largest organisations across finance, telecommunications and aviation. We know what it takes to handle sensitive data securely, at scale, under real regulatory scrutiny.
That same team is based in Sydney, where Australia is now rolling out one of the world's newest anti-money laundering regimes — extending obligations to real estate, legal, accounting and other professional services for the first time. It puts us on the frontline of exactly the challenge European Obliged Entities face under the EU Single Rulebook and AMLA.
We've turned that combination — enterprise engineering pedigree and live, hands-on regulatory experience — into a platform aligned with the nuances of the EU Single Rulebook, eIDAS standards and strict GDPR data privacy laws. We don't just build software; we build software that understands the specific regulatory environment you operate in.
Founder & CEO
Simon Giles
Simon has spent the last 15 years building software companies, with a throughline running through every one of them: take something complicated and make it feel obvious. With a background in user-experience design, he's known for stripping away the complexity that scares smaller businesses away from doing the right thing.
He founded Instant Compliance to do exactly that for AML. The mission isn't just to build the most powerful platform — it's to build the one any Obliged Entity can actually run, in minutes, without hiring a dedicated compliance officer.
As a consultant, he has led projects at Telstra, Optus, Qantas, Tourism Australia and Ignition Wealth. Based in Sydney, he's a firm believer in technology that quietly does the hard work in the background, so people can get on with theirs.
Over the past few years, Simon has grown a team in Australia solving enterprise problems for the finance industry. Today that team is focused squarely on compliance — applying what it's learning from Australia's AML rollout to build a platform ready for European Obliged Entities.
“Compliance shouldn't be a punishment for running an honest business. We built Instant Compliance so any Obliged Entity can get set up in minutes. Properly, not painfully.”
Our core values
What drives us.
Automation over administration
We believe human intelligence should be spent on analysing real risks, not doing data entry. If a process can be automated, we automate it.
Uncompromising security
We handle the world's most sensitive data. Our infrastructure is built on bank-grade encryption, strict access controls and rigorous GDPR compliance.
Radical simplicity
Compliance software is notoriously clunky. We design our tools to be so intuitive that anyone on your team can use them with zero training.
Continuous adaptation
Regulations change. We change faster. Our platform updates continuously to reflect the latest EU directives, sanctions lists and AMLA guidelines.
