REI Vault is a guided, step-by-step digital workflow that walks you through initiating and executing the agency agreement while incorporating your Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) obligations as the selling or buyers' agent, when dealing with both the vendor and purchaser. It has been purpose-built using the AUSTRAC Starter Kit, with the required AUSTRAC forms integrated directly into each step of the process.
REINSW is committed to helping our members meet their compliance obligations and REI Vault is central to that commitment.
