For private lenders, MICs & mortgage administrators

Your mortgage book made you a reporting entity.

If you lend on, service or administer mortgages, FINTRAC's obligations have applied to you since October 11, 2024. Provasure keeps your program, your borrower KYC evidence and the records the sector now has to keep in one continuously examination-ready file.

Who this covers

Private mortgage lenders
Lending your own funds, or funds you raise, on a mortgage secured by real property. Providing the loan is what puts you in scope, not how you are licensed.
Mortgage investment corporations
A MIC raising money and lending it out on mortgages is a mortgage lender for FINTRAC's purposes, and its corporate borrowers bring beneficial-ownership records most MICs have never had to keep.
Mortgage administrators & servicers
Servicing a mortgage on behalf of investors puts you in scope on your own account: an information record on every client, and a receipt-of-funds record on the payments you take in.
Brokerages, whether you fund or place
The sector is administrators, brokers and lenders alike, so placing a deal with a lender does not move the obligation onto them. Arranging the mortgage loan is itself the trigger.
What gets asked for

What an examiner asks a mortgage lender for

  • Client identification by a permitted method, for persons and for entities
  • Beneficial ownership at the 25% threshold on corporate borrowers, with evidence, not just a name on a form
  • The information record, the mortgage loan record with the borrower's financial capacity and loan terms, and a receipt-of-funds record
  • Business-relationship records with ongoing monitoring set by risk rating
  • The two-year effectiveness review of your policies, risk assessment and training
  • Suspicious transaction and terrorist-property processes, plus large cash and large virtual currency reporting

The receipt-of-funds record is the one that catches lenders out: it is triggered by funds received in any amount in connection with a mortgage, not by a $10,000 threshold. Records have to be kept five years and reach FINTRAC within 30 days of a request.
