Who this is for

Built for real estate agencies.
Not banks. Not lawyers. You.

If your agency brokers the purchase, sale, or transfer of property in Australia, AUSTRAC's Tranche 2 reforms apply to you. Whether you're a solo buyer's agent or a 50-person agency — you need an AML/CTF compliance program by 1 July 2026.

The problem

The deadline is real.
The fines are steep.

AUSTRAC's Tranche 2 reforms take effect 1 July 2026. Non-compliance carries penalties of up to $33 million per contravention. The government estimates it costs $28,650 per business to set up — using consultants.

What AUSTRAC expects you to have by July:

Enrol with AUSTRAC
AML/CTF compliance program
Appoint a compliance officer
ML/TF/PF risk assessment
Customer due diligence (CDD)
Beneficial ownership identification
Sanctions & PEP screening
Suspicious matter reporting (SMR)
Threshold transaction reports (TTR)
Staff training program
Employee due diligence
Record keeping for 7 years

AML Simple helps you manage every one of these. That's the whole point.

How it works

Three steps to compliance

You sell houses, not compliance consulting. We built this so you can tick the AML box and get back to work.

1

Build your program

Answer guided questions about your agency. We generate a compliant AML/CTF program covering risk assessment, policies, and procedures — consistent with AUSTRAC's Starter Kit.

2

Verify your clients

Add your clients to the system, record their identity information, and let the app risk-rate them. CDD requirements are built in — you just follow the steps.

3

Stay compliant

Automated sanctions screening, ongoing monitoring, and record keeping. When AUSTRAC comes knocking, you're ready.
