Purpose-built AML/CTF compliance for Australian buyers agents. Complete AUSTRAC enrolment, CDD, sanctions screening and SMR workflows — all in one platform. Onboard a buyer in minutes, not days.
Under the amended AML/CTF Act 2006 and AUSTRAC Tranche 2 reforms, buyers agents and buyer's advocates who assist clients to buy real property are providing a designated service. From 1 July 2026, you must enrol with AUSTRAC, run a written AML/CTF program, verify every client, screen against the DFAT sanctions list, lodge suspicious matter reports, and keep records for 7 years.
Doing this manually means juggling identity documents, sanctions lists, risk assessments, and audit records across spreadsheets and emails. AML software for buyers agents — like AMLTranche — brings all of it into one AUSTRAC-aligned platform, so a full CDD pack takes around 15 minutes instead of half a day.
Six obligations apply to every Australian buyers agent from 1 July 2026. AMLTranche delivers the systems you need to meet each one — sourced directly from the AML/CTF Act and AUSTRAC core guidance.
Register as a reporting entity through AUSTRAC Online. Enrolment opens 31 March 2026; deadline 29 July 2026.

Screen every client against the DFAT Consolidated List and PEP databases — and re-screen on list updates.

Buyers agents don't sit in an office — and your AML software shouldn't either. AMLTranche is a web-based AML app that works on any device. Capture a client's ID and run full AUSTRAC-aligned CDD from your iPad at an open home, or from your phone after a signed buyers agency agreement.
Selfie + document capture on any device. Matches driver licence, passport or Medicare via secure Australian IDV providers.
Every buyer is automatically checked against the DFAT Consolidated List and PEP databases — and re-screened when lists update.
Answer a short questionnaire and the platform produces your written AML/CTF program and ML/TF risk assessment, tailored to a buyers agency.
Workflows for source of funds, source of wealth, country risk and foreign PEP status — aligned with the AUSTRAC ECDD rules.
AUSTRAC permits delayed CDD for certain real estate services. The platform tracks the timer and chases outstanding checks so nothing slips past deadline.
Structured intake and reviewer role-split so tipping off is prevented by design. Lodge SMRs inside AUSTRAC's 3-business-day window (24 hours for TF).
Verify SMSFs, discretionary trusts, unit trusts and Pty Ltd entities — including beneficial owners at 25%+ per AUSTRAC rules.
