Our services help financial sector entities meet their obligations under Canada’s PCMLTFA framework—without the burden of manual workflows or regulatory confusion.

Industry Overview

The financial sector is one of the most heavily regulated under Canada's anti-money laundering (AML) regime. Entities must adhere to strict rules for verifying clients, monitoring transactions, and reporting suspicious or large cash activity.

FINTRAC enforces these obligations, requiring detailed documentation, timely submissions, and a structured compliance program. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, reputational harm, and even criminal liability.

Common Challenges

Complex and changing AML regulations
Difficulty identifying third parties or beneficial owners
Manual client onboarding processes
Inconsistent documentation and recordkeeping
Uncertainty in when and how to file reports (LCTR, STR)
