Treefort Technologies is pleased to announce that our Identity Verification (IDV) is now available through the Canadian Mortgage Brokers Association of Ontario’s members login!  Get prepared for your new FINTRAC reporting requirements, starting October 11th! 

The legal landscape is constantly evolving and, starting October 11th, new regulations will mandate that Mortgage Brokers enhance their business practices to align with the requirements under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act.
