Ontario real estate agents report fewer large cash transactions to FinTRAC

August 17, 2025

Ontario real estate agents reported just eight large cash transactions over the past year to the federal anti-money-laundering watchdog, according to new figures.

The multibillion-dollar real estate market is at high risk for money laundering, experts say.

However, the low number of reports – which is down substantially from previous years – could be due, at least in part, to brokerages implementing no-cash policies.
