Tranche 2 AML and CTF compliance is coming – and most Australian businesses aren’t ready
APLYiD has done some digging to discover where Australian real estate professionals, lawyers and financial service professionals sit with the upcoming Tranche 2 AML and CTF law changes - and what’s holding them back from getting compliant.
Our research showed that of the people we talked to 80% haven’t yet taken steps towards becoming AML compliant, while 65% have little or no knowledge of Tranche 2 and what’s expected of them.
That said, we know you care - 70% of those surveyed would invest their time and money into attending events to learn more about Tranche 2.
This tells us you clearly want to be informed and do the right thing - but you don’t know what you need to do, when you need to do it, who to turn to for support, and how to put the solution into practice.
Understandably, it’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who are finding it hardest to carve out time and headspace for the upcoming changes. For many of you it’s a struggle to find the right resources to get ready.
To put it bluntly: you’ve got limited time and bandwidth, especially if you’re a solo agent. You need your AML software provider to keep things no-nonsense and jargon-free. And you want the switch to be as smooth and easy as possible - with minimal disruption.
Some of you are waiting to become compliant – but delaying comes at a cost
Tranche 2 compliance is on the radar for most. But many smaller organisations, and solo agents, are plonking preparation in the too-hard basket for now. Many are thinking, “We’ve got months… no need to rush.”
While the big players with their lengthy approval processes are getting sorted early, smaller outfits tend to delay.
But delay adds needless risk and stress.
Not to make you feel bad, but here’s the risk trio you’re up against if you’re not ready in time:
Getting ahead of Tranche 2 doesn’t mean inevitable disruption and downtime. With the right platform, it’s incredibly easy to get ready for Tranche 2 now.
