FINTRAC Compliance Resources

As of today, the FINTRAC requirements are effective. The Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act  apply to mortgage brokers, lenders, and administrators (collectively referred to as “brokers”) as of October 11, 2024. Non-compliance may lead to significant consequences. FINTRAC has indicated a transition period for compliance, which should be sufficient for you to prepare, though the exact duration is not specified.

To assist you in preparing for these regulatory changes, CMBA-BC has created a comprehensive resource hub tailored for mortgage brokers. We have partnered with experts and solution providers to guide you through the compliance process.
