Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

Answers to what teams ask before they sign up — and during onboarding.

Getting started

  • If your agency facilitates property purchases or sales, the new AML/CTF reforms apply to you. Propter handles your obligations end-to-end so you can stay focused on listings and clients.

  • Reforms commence 1 July 2026. Programs and onboarding need to be in place by then; reporting obligations begin immediately after.

  • Most agencies are configured in under a day. The AUSTRAC starter kit pre-fills the program, you upload your staff list, and we generate the policies in your branding.

  • Yes — Propter Compliance runs alongside your current CRM. The Professional tier replaces CRM functions if you’d rather consolidate everything in one platform.

KYC & verification

  • Two-of-three ID verification (driver’s licence, passport, Medicare), sanctions and PEP screening, address verification, and beneficial-owner declarations for corporate clients.

  • You can declare reliance on another reporting entity for a specific transaction. Propter captures the agreement, the source entity, and the residual checks you still need to perform.

  • The transaction is paused, a red flag is raised in the dashboard, and the compliance officer receives a notification with the failed checks itemised and next steps suggested.

Reporting & audit

  • Propter prepares and submits SMRs (Suspicious Matter Reports) and TTRs (Threshold Transaction Reports) directly to AUSTRAC through the AUSTRAC Online API. You review and approve before submission.

  • Every action — verification, approval, override, comment, file upload — is timestamped with the actor and reason. Exports are available as CSV or PDF for AUSTRAC requests.

  • Records live in Propter, encrypted and retained for the AUSTRAC-mandated 7-year period. You own the data and can export at any time.

  • Role-based access: Compliance Officer sees everything, Agents see their own clients, Principal sees agency-wide reporting. You configure roles on signup and can adjust at any time.

Pricing & plans

  • KYC, sanctions screening, SMR and TTR submission, full audit trail, and the AUSTRAC starter kit — everything required to satisfy AUSTRAC, nothing extra.

  • Propter is free until enforcement begins on 1 July 2026. After that, your selected plan is billed monthly with no setup fees and no long contracts.

  • Yes — you can move between Compliance Only, Professional, and Franchise tiers at any time. Pro-rated billing applies and no data is lost on the switch.
