From 1 July, buyer's agents will need to verify clients, screen for sanctions, file reports, and run a compliance program. Detekta gives you everything to meet AUSTRAC's new rules. One platform, one monthly fee, and a real compliance officer behind it if you want one.
AUSTRAC's new rules apply to real estate professionals from 1 July 2026. Here's the plain-English version of what your firm needs in place.
Before you act for a buyer, you'll have to confirm who they are using government-issued ID and verify them against trusted data sources. The compliance world calls this KYC (Know Your Customer).
When your client is buying through a company, trust, or SMSF, you'll need to confirm the entity exists, who owns it, and who controls it. This is KYB (Know Your Business) and beneficial-ownership verification.
Every client (and every owner behind a corporate client) has to be checked against international sanctions, politically exposed person (PEP) lists, and adverse-media databases.
Your firm needs a written compliance program describing how you'll meet your obligations. This is the document AUSTRAC asks for when you register, and what they inspect during audits.
If something looks off, you must report it to AUSTRAC within a strict deadline. You need a process for spotting it, documenting the case, and filing the report.
Every team member who interacts with clients must complete AML training before 1 July, and again as roles change or rules update.
The same six obligations, mapped to the modules built into Detekta. Nothing extra to buy.
Verify a buyer's identity in under a minute. Driver's licence, passport, biometric face match, AML and sanctions check. They can do it on their phone.
Look up any AU/NZ/UK company. Get directors, shareholders, the full ownership tree, financial status, and a sanctions check on every owner, in one click.

Asset Buyers is a boutique with fewer clients and more attention. So is Detekta. The platform and the partnership are built around that.
On the Pro plan, Ricardo isn't a chatbot or a ticketing system. He's a registered MLRO, sits on your team, and answers your phone. You'll know his number.
The platform and the AI are designed around Tranche 2's specific requirements for real estate professionals. We're not retrofitting a banking tool.
Two plans. Published rates. Special pricing for Asset Buyers locked in for the term. No surprise renewals, no per-entity gotchas, no Enterprise quote-traps.
Three quick actions to lock in AUSTRAC readiness before 1 July.
