Frequently Asked Questions

Do real estate agencies need to comply with AML/CTF laws?

Yes — under Tranche-2 reforms, real estate agencies providing designated services will be required to comply with new AML/CTF obligations. This includes customer verification, risk assessment, and reporting requirements.

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the process of verifying a customer's identity before providing a designated service. It helps ensure you're not inadvertently facilitating money laundering or terrorism financing.

You'll need to maintain records of customer identity verification, risk assessments, transaction monitoring, suspicious matter reports, and staff training — typically for at least 7 years.

Records must generally be kept for a minimum of 7 years after the end of the business relationship or after the transaction was completed.

Screening checks your customers against lists of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), sanctioned individuals/entities, and adverse media. AML Guardian automates this process as part of your KYC/KYB verification.
