Understanding the Risk

Real estate transactions are attractive to money launderers due to the high value and ability to integrate illicit funds into the legitimate economy. Criminals may use complex ownership structures, offshore entities, or third-party purchasers to obscure the true source of funds. The Tranche 2 legislation is designed to help you identify suspicious transactions and verify the legitimacy of your clients and their funding sources.
