First AML and MRI Software join forces to simplify compliance for Australian real estate
Sydney, October 2025 - First AML has announced a partnership to develop native integration with MRI Software, Australia and New Zealand’s market share leader in real estate Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and property management solutions. These direct, built-in connections allow agencies using MRI’s VaultRE, Box+Dice, and Eagle CRMs to seamlessly manage their entire anti-money laundering (AML) compliance processes.
This latest milestone follows a string of high-profile successes for First AML in the real estate sector. In the past year alone, the company has been named preferred AML partner by the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) and the majority of other state REIs. First AML has also been selected as the compliance solution for Raine & Horne and LJ Hooker – highly recognised super-brands in the Australian real estate sector.
With Australia’s Tranche 2 AML/CTF reforms set to regulate the real estate sector, agencies will be required to do far more than verify identity. They must also manage risk assessments, maintain detailed records and carry out enhanced due diligence on high-risk buyers - all while keeping deals moving and client experiences smooth. Native integrations link the MRI CRM systems to the AML workflows ensuring compliance processes happen efficiently.
Unlike basic VOI or ID check providers, First AML’s platform delivers the full spectrum of Tranche 2 compliance requirements, all now accessible via MRI’s leading CRMs.
Milan Cooper, CEO of First AML, said, “Native integrations are about making compliance easy for the agent while ensuring it’s rock-solid behind the scenes. This means minimal disruption to workflows, no lost time and no risk of missing a step. For agencies, it’s peace of mind built directly into the system they already trust to run their business. When you combine this with our recent partnerships and endorsements from some of the most respected names in Australian real estate, the message is clear - if you’re in real estate, there’s no better choice for AML compliance.”
