APLYiD partners with MRI Software for no-nonsense AML compliance for Australian real estate agencies

APLYiD, well-known for its all-in-one anti-money laundering (AML) compliance software is partnering with MRI Software, Australia’s go-to CRM platform for real estate professionals.

MRI Software has been supporting real estate professionals since 1971 and offers three main CRM products, Vault, Box & Dice, and Eagle: all of which will become integrated with APLYiD. This partnership could not come at a better time: every MRI client needs to comply with the upcoming AML Tranche 2 legislation, which comes into effect in July 2026.

This partnership will see APLYiD’s AML compliance tools become fully integrated with MRI Software’s platform. It’s all about enabling agencies to easily manage their responsibilities under the new legal framework – and minimise regulatory, reputational and operational risks – without disrupting their day-to-day work or client experience.

Toby Taylor, APLYiD’s General Manager, Australia, says: “As Tranche 2 approaches, our priority is to help agencies stay ahead of their compliance obligations with minimal disruption.” By integrating with MRI Software, APLYiD are helping professionals tick all the regulatory boxes with confidence, while having the time and energy to remain focused on what matters most – connecting vendors with buyers and their dream residential or commercial properties.

So, what can MRI users expect from this new partnership?

• AML checks and screenings that flow smoothly and can be done in seconds, including ID verification and source of funds confirmation.
• Smooth and streamlined integration: less clicks, less platforms to manage, less tech to learn.
• Easily maintain a full audit trail and manage risk (no more stress come audit time).
• Create and retain structured client risk profiles, including reasons, evidence, and review history.
• A platform that can manage high-risk clients with intuitive workflows for customer due diligence (CDD) and enhanced due diligence (EDD).
• Access to the world’s best biometric tools (no more paperwork).
• Automatic logging of compliance actions.
• Option to outsource complex cases to APLYiD's dedicated compliance team.
• All of this and more wrapped up in an easy-to-use and scalable system which requires no training, sales calls or demos.
• Frank, friendly, no-nonsense, no hassle support if needed.

Sydney-based Steve Grubmier, Asia Pacific Director of Partner Connect for MRI Software, has a strong residential real estate background. When asked to describe the impact of this new partnership, he says: “It fits perfectly with MRI’s aim to give users solutions that add real value.”

As the industry faces new regulatory hurdles, MRI and APLYiD are proud to offer an AML compliance solution that’s tailored to what agents actually need. With APLYiD’s no worries, no-nonsense approach, this partnership ticks all the boxes with a simple platform, fair pricing, and the flexibility to scale when you need to. Gone are the days of in-person ID checks, piles of printed docs, and headache-inducing audits. Plus, agencies can keep their own branding throughout the customer onboarding process.

Rollout of partnership to begin in July 2025

The rollout will begin with select MRI clients in July 2025, with full availability later this year. This tiered approach means any kinks can be ironed out before everyone jumps on board.

Taylor adds that they understand the pressure real estate professionals are under. This partnership will give agencies peace of mind that they are ahead of the game – avoiding the chaos of becoming compliant at the last minute.
