Support for Real Estate Firms Handling Buyer Money

Real estate firms handle some of the largest payments their clients ever make, often from abroad. That makes them a focus for regulators and banks. We help you receive funds smoothly, report deals correctly and keep your accounts working.

Why us

Why we work with real estate firms

The UAE property market draws buyers from around the world, many paying from overseas accounts, through companies or with digital assets. Brokers and agents are now treated as regulated businesses for anti-money laundering purposes, with their own reporting duties and inspections. We support brokers, agencies, developers and property investment companies.

What we solve

Three problems we solve for property firms

01

Transaction management

The problem

Large buyer payments from abroad held for checks, payments from third parties, and deals paid in cash or crypto.

How we solve it

We set clear rules on which payments you accept, check the source of large buyer funds before they arrive, and prepare the report required for cash and digital asset deals. Completions are less likely to stall at the bank.

02

Buyer checks and compliance

The problem

Identifying buyers and the real owners behind companies, politically exposed buyers, and Ministry of Economy inspections.

How we solve it

We set up buyer checks your agents can complete quickly, screen buyers and owners, and build the risk assessment and records an inspector expects. We can act as your outsourced compliance officer.

03

Bank account access

The problem

Banks hesitant to open accounts for brokerages and property companies with international buyers and large inflows.

How we solve it

We prepare a file that shows your controls, buyer profile and expected flows, and approach banks that work with the property sector. The bank decides. We make sure your file is complete and convincing.
