AML / CTF · New Laws Effective 1 July 2026

AML/CTF for real estate

The new AML/CTF laws were really written for banks, but have been thrown at real estate agencies under Tranche 2.

Unfortunately, the new laws are here to stay.

The challenge is not simply with software or just obtaining ID’s - that’s the easy part. The difficulty is making the entire process work properly in a busy sales environment, where sales agents, administrators, buyers, sellers, contracts, trust monies and timeframes all move quickly.

Not many operations employees understand know how to examine trust deeds, ASIC extracts. Penalties will go into the thousands of dollars if the audit finds the work was not done properly or cannot be supported in writing.

Our RE AML/CTF service is built for real estate agencies. We go beyond software, templates and training - we take control top manage your compliance from setup to managing all daily AML checks needed using a process that fits around how your agency already operates.

In summary, we provide you peace of mind that it’s all being handled by a team that knows what to do.

Smarter AML/CTF

Beyond the platform & into supporting

As many agencies are now discovering, signing up to an AML platform is just the first step. But software suppliers will have little time for you when you need.

Your choices are:

  • Burn into your current onsite resources? Or

  • Outsource it & focus on giving better agent support

Real estate is different. The AML work sits directly inside new listings, offers, contracts and settlement timeframes.

The challenge is the volume that needs managing in a tight timeframe — dealing with sales agents, buyers and sellers, including multiple parties, entities and trust deeds.

The more compliance your operations team gets involved in, the less support your agents get.

Expertise that keeps you deal focussed

Beyond access to a platform, we offer a fully managed real estate specialised AML service —with the work delivery, support and access to our people all built in.
