Canadian Dealers: Are You Ready for FINTRAC?
April 1, 2026 is the deadline: Auto dealerships that offer in-house financing or leasing must comply with Canada’s FINTRAC AML regulations.
We're Here to Help
FraudFighter is here to help you stay compliant with new federal requirements for identity verification, data storage, and risk mitigation.
Whether you’re already using us or evaluating your compliance strategy, this page is your resource hub.
Why This Matters to Your Dealership:
FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada) now classifies automotive dealers that lease or finance vehicles as reporting entities under Canada's anti–money laundering laws. That means you're now subject to the same rules as financial institutions, including:
- Verifying every customer’s identity using approved methods
- Recording and securely storing customer ID and transaction data for 5 years
- Screening for Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
- Monitoring transactions and reporting suspicious activity
- Implementing a full AML compliance program
Does FraudFighter Meet FINTRAC Requirements?
Yes. FraudFighter supports all core identity verification and recordkeeping standards required by FINTRAC, including:
- Government-issued ID scans
- Secure data capture and retention
- Redacted ID image delivery for lender compliance
- Roadmap for multi-method verification (dual-process, credit file)
-
PEP screening integration (upon request)
