What is expected of you within the property industry?

The AML/CTF reform was introduced by the Australian Government to strengthen Australia’s ability to detect and prevent criminal behaviour linked to money laundering and other financial crimes. 

Entities providing Real Estate Services, Real Estate Agents, Lawyers and Conveyancers are entering a compliance regime that banks and financial institutions in Australia have been navigating for two decades.

High-level obligations for every real estate professional include: 

  • Understanding your designated service/s and your obligations for them 
  • Identifying your Compliance Officer 
  • Registering with AUSTRAC 
  • Establishing your AML/CTF Compliance Program
  • Identify a technology solution suitable for your business such as PEXA Clear 
  • Completing staff due diligence and training  
  • Conducting customer due diligence for buyer and sellers, including verifying beneficial owners for businesses 
  • Monitoring suspicious or high-risk transactions with enhanced due diligence and reporting 
  • Maintaining ongoing records

What is PEXA Clear

What is PEXA Clear

PEXA Clear is a non-subscription based platform to help you manage your compliance obligations enabling you to focus on your core business. 

The new AML/CTF obligations that property professionals now face, span across identity verification, legal entity mapping, risk screening, scoring frameworks and AUSTRAC reporting requirements - none of which are simple to understand or easy to implement. 

PEXA Clear embeds due diligence of customers, screening, risk assessment and enhanced due diligence triggers into everyday property workflows, transforming an external regulatory obligation into something that runs alongside, rather than separately, to how your business runs day to day.

Compliance that doesn’t kill the deal

Are you concerned that: 

  • the additional level of compliance will become a commercial pain point that risks derailing business transactions?
    buyers and sellers will have not want additional and lengthy onboarding delays within the competitive housing market?
    real estate agents, lawyers and conveyancers need to manage customer information with integrity, sellers – all while keeping the deals moving and a smooth customer experience? 

Enabling individual and business customers to enter their own information into the PEXA Clear platform independently of the Real Estate agent, lawyer or conveyancer for a given property of interest maintains the integrity of the information, allowing the professionals to stay focused on their core business and the deal to keep progressing.
