Electronic Fund Transfer

Ensure full FINTRAC compliance for large electronic funds transfers (EFTs) with our audit-ready service tailored for reporting entities in Canada.

Why Electronic Fund Transfer?

Canada’s anti-money laundering (AML) regulations require reporting entities to submit a Large Virtual Currency Transaction Report (LVCTR) or Large EFT Report when transferring $10,000 CAD or more in a single transaction or series of related transactions within 24 hours.

Our service automates EFT compliance, ensuring timely reporting, accurate recordkeeping, and risk mitigation across your financial operations.

Who Is It For?

This service is ideal for:

Financial institutions
Securities dealers
Money services businesses (MSBs)
Mortgage brokers and lenders
Life insurance companies
Real estate developers and agents

If you send or receive large electronic funds transfers—domestically or internationally—you are legally obligated to report and retain relevant information. This service simplifies that process.
