AML/CTF Compliance (What We Need From You)

As part of handling your property transaction, we are legally required to carry out Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) checks.

These checks are required under Australian law and help prevent:

• Money laundering
• Fraud
• Terrorism financing

Because property transactions involve large sums of money, they are considered higher risk. As your conveyancer, we must:

• Verify your identity
• Understand the source of funds being used

What You May Need to Provide

You may be asked for:

• Identification (e.g. passport & driver’s licence)
• Information about where your funds are coming from (including bank statements)

If your transaction involves a company, trust, or superannuation fund, we may also require:

• Trust deeds
• ASIC searches
• Information about ownership and shareholding

This helps us meet legal obligations, including identifying any foreign ownership where applicable.

Your Privacy

All information you provide:

• Is handled securely
• Is used only for compliance purposes
• Is treated with strict confidentiality

Thank You

We appreciate your cooperation — these steps help us protect you and ensure your transaction proceeds smoothly, so you can settle with ease.
