Safe as houses
Built for real estate
First AML gives real estate agencies a single AML system that runs in the background while deals continue as normal. Designed for high-volume, time-sensitive transactions, with pre-defined processes and rules, AML is built into the transaction lifecycle, not added on.
Signed, sealed, delivered
Keeps deals moving
Agents trigger checks in seconds to keep listings and settlements moving. Branded requests are sent by SMS, email or in person, with vendors and buyers verifying securely on any device, with no app downloads required. AML runs without unnecessary delays at critical points in the transaction.
Location, location, regulation
Compliance without overkill
Risk checks, record keeping and approvals are built in, without complex setup or enterprise-level overheads. The result is a system that works in practice, keeps costs predictable and supports AML reform compliance without becoming an ongoing project.
"First AML has a strong track record supporting real estate professionals through similar reforms overseas and their platform offers a straightforward path to compliance for agencies of all sizes."

Frequently Asked Questions
What AML software are Australian real estate firms choosing?
Many Australian real estate networks including LJ Hooker and First National, have appointed First AML as their recommended AML/CTF compliance software ahead of AUSTRAC’s Tranche 2 reforms. Agencies are choosing platforms that support Customer Due Diligence (CDD), sanctions and PEP screening, risk assessment and entity verification in one system.
Does First AML include pre-built AML rules, or do we need to create everything ourselves?
First AML includes pre-built workflows and rules you can start using immediately. You can then configure them to reflect your agency's risk appetite and AML program so the process matches how you work.
Does First AML meet AUSTRAC AML/CTF Act requirements for real estate agents?
First AML is designed to support compliance with the AML/CTF Act and AUSTRAC Rules as they apply to Australian real estate agents from 1 July 2026. It embeds Customer Due Diligence (CDD), beneficial ownership checks, sanctions and PEP screening, documented risk assessment and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) triggers into everyday property workflows.
How does First AML compare with generic KYC or identity verification tools?
Unlike identity-only, screening-only or cheaper tools, First AML is an end-to-end AML/CTF compliance platform built for Australian real estate. It manages individuals, companies, SMSFs and complex ownership structures in one case workflow, reducing the need for multiple integrations or outsourced reviews.
How much does First AML cost?
Pricing depends on your service needs, expected case volume and case complexity. The cost structure includes an annual platform fee plus verification usage, so costs scale with your volume of work.
Can First AML verify companies, SMSFs and international property buyers?
Yes. First AML supports verification of individuals, Australian companies, foreign entities and SMSFs. It captures beneficial ownership and control structures and applies risk-based prompts, including Enhanced Due Diligence where required under AUSTRAC guidance.
Will AML compliance slow down property transactions?
First AML allows agents to trigger AML checks via SMS or email in seconds. Clients complete identity verification securely on any device, with risk-based information collection designed to avoid unnecessary delays in low-risk transactions while still meeting AUSTRAC AML/CTF obligations.
How quickly can a real estate agency implement First AML before AUSTRAC Tranche 2 begins?
First AML is designed for fast implementation ahead of the 1 July 2026 AUSTRAC Tranche 2 commencement date. Agencies can configure pre-defined real estate AML/CTF workflows, rules and requirements aligned to AUSTRAC obligations without configuring the system from scratch. This allows principals and compliance leads to move from planning to operational Customer Due Diligence (CDD), screening and risk assessment in a structured, scalable way.
