What ReallyTrusted does

ReallyTrusted is a Vancouver-based Canadian compliance technology company founded in 2018 that provides a turnkey FINTRAC (anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing) compliance platform for Canadian real estate brokerages, individual agents, and mortgage brokers. The company's core offering is FINTRAC Express, which bundles four integrated products: RT App (a web and mobile application for client identification, document scanning, PEP/HIO and sanctions screening, automated risk warnings, and BCFSA form automation), RT Manuals (customized AML/CTF policy manual creation and maintenance), RT Academy (an online learning platform with FINTRAC compliance courses), and RT Reviews (effectiveness reviews and FINTRAC examination preparation consulting). The platform is built around computer vision for mobile ID document scanning, automated data extraction into client records, and screening against adverse media, PEP, and sanctions lists.

The company makes money primarily through annual subscription fees for FINTRAC Express, RT App, and RT Academy, supplemented by professional services revenue from RT Manuals (custom AML manual creation) and RT Reviews (consulting and effectiveness reviews). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is offered on a quote-based, annual billing basis. ReallyTrusted employs a hybrid go-to-market: product-led growth through self-service web and mobile onboarding for individual agents and smaller brokerages, combined with direct enterprise sales and consultation booking for larger brokerages and mortgage lending institutions. Distribution relies heavily on partnership channels, with the company trusted by 21+ Canadian real estate associations and local boards as well as major national brokerages including RE/MAX, Royal LePage, Century 21, Keller Williams, Sotheby's, and Real Broker.

ReallyTrusted is founder-led by co-founders Greg Dent (Chief Operating Officer, who also hosts the "Know Your Compliance" podcast launched in 2024) and Daniel Dent (Chief Technology Officer), supported by a small team of 1-10 employees including business development, compliance strategy, AML analysts, and engineering staff. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding rounds. Its scale commentary claims 31,000+ individual users, 900+ brokerages, and 21+ real estate associations served across Canada, focused exclusively on the Canadian regulatory market.

Direct peers

• Trulioo: Vancouver-based global identity verification and AML/KYC platform. Directly comparable as a Canadian-headquartered RegTech providing ID verification and AML screening that overlap with ReallyTrusted's RT App capabilities.
• Alloy: Identity decisioning and AML orchestration platform for financial institutions. Comparable workflow automation and risk decisioning to ReallyTrusted's computer-assisted risk decisioning in RT App.
• Sumsub: Global KYC/AML/identity verification platform covering ID document checks, PEP/sanctions screening and adverse media — the same core components that ReallyTrusted packages for Canadian FINTRAC compliance.
• Persona: Identity verification and KYC platform serving financial services and real estate verticals with configurable ID capture, sanctions/PEP screening and automated risk decisioning — overlapping closely with ReallyTrusted's RT App feature set.
• Veriff: Identity verification platform with document scanning, facial biometrics and AML screening — overlapping technology stack with ReallyTrusted's mobile ID scanning and PEP/HIO checks.

Broad incumbents

• Onfido: Established global ID verification provider (now part of Entrust) serving banks, fintechs and marketplaces — a broader incumbent that could localize Canadian real estate compliance workflows as a feature within its enterprise stack.
• Lighthouse Networks / nCino Mortgage Compliance: nCino's mortgage and banking compliance modules offer KYC/AML workflow automation for financial institutions, including mortgage origination. Overlaps with ReallyTrusted's mortgage broker vertical expansion and provides a comparison point for enterprise-grade compliance at scale.
• Mortgage Workflow Partners / Finastra Compliance Solutions: Finastra provides mortgage origination and regulatory compliance infrastructure to banks and lenders. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering compliance overlays that could be extended into the Canadian mortgage broker segment ReallyTrusted is targeting.

Emerging players

• Snappt: Real estate fraud detection and document verification vendor. Comparable because it brings ID/document verification tooling to U.S. property managers and brokerages — an adjacent vertical play that could expand into Canadian compliance.

Regional players

• Notarius: Quebec-based provider of digital trust and electronic signature solutions for Canadian professionals including real estate and legal. Comparable as a Canadian-rooted RegTech/trust services vendor with overlapping distribution into real estate associations.
