What Is FINTRAC and Why Does It Apply to You?
FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada) is Canada's financial intelligence unit. Under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, real estate brokers and agents are designated Reporting Entities.
This means you have legally binding obligations every time you work with a buyer, seller, or landlord. These are not optional — FINTRAC conducts regular examinations and can impose significant penalties for non-compliance.
No other real estate CRM in Canada has been purpose-built to support FINTRAC record-keeping. RealtorDesk AI is changing that.
Whether you're a solo agent or part of a large brokerage, FINTRAC obligations apply to you.
FINTRAC administrative monetary penalties are significant. Compliance is not optional.
Your records may be reviewed. Having organized, accessible records is essential.
All client identification and transaction records must be retained for a minimum of five years.

No Other CRM Does This for Canadian Agents
Follow Up Boss, Lofty, kvCORE, and Wise Agent are all US platforms with zero FINTRAC awareness. AgentLocator and IXACT Contact are Canadian-built but have no compliance record-keeping features. RealtorDesk AI is the only CRM designed to support Canadian real estate compliance obligations — FINTRAC, PIPEDA, and CASL — in a single platform.
