Practice Safely in Demo Mode
If you want to explore the platform:

In Demo Mode, consumer emails are redirected to you and nothing is sent to your brokerage.

Create sample forms using yourself as the “client” to see what messages are sent.
-
When you’re ready to go live, click Exit Demo Mode — your demo data will be cleared.
Section 2: FINTRAC Identification Methods
Mobile FINTRAC (In-Person)
This automated method uses your device’s camera.
-
Open the ReallyTrusted App on your phone or tablet.
-
Tap Scan DL/ID Barcode for FINTRAC.
-
Hold the barcode (bottom-left on BC IDs) up to the camera.
-
The app will capture the data automatically.
-
Answer the prompted questions:
-
Address: Confirm or update if the client has moved.
-
Occupation: Add their job title or note if retired.
-
Purpose & Intended Nature: Choose the reason for the relationship (e.g., buying, selling).
-
Third Party: Ask and record answers accordingly.
-
Transaction Address: Enter if known; otherwise choose Currently Unknown.
-
-
Tap Create Individual Identification Record — a FINTRAC ID form will be emailed to you.
Made a mistake? Tap Back to Contact FINTRAC Summary → Update the relevant info → Collect Missing Information → Create Record again.
Manual FINTRAC Entry
Only use this if your client’s ID is unsupported (e.g., passport, enhanced driver’s licence).
-
Open the app and tap Contacts.
-
Either Add Contact or find the client in your Active Contacts list and tap Show.
-
Tap FINTRAC → Collect Missing Information.
-
Complete all required fields, then Create Individual Identification Record.
-
Follow the same update process as above if you need to correct details.
WARNING: Do not collect ID data via emailed photos or over the phone — this violates FINTRAC and privacy regulations.

-
Complete the follow-up questions (Address, Occupation, Purpose, Third Party, Transaction Address).
-
Tap Create Individual Identification Record — a copy is sent to you via email.
Note: If the app won’t let you accept, it’s due to data inconsistency or possible fraud. Read the system notes and follow up with your client if needed.

Section 4: FAQS
How can I practice without sending real forms?
Use Demo Mode (Profile → Demo Mode). No client emails are sent, and brokerage copies are disabled.
How do I know my client received the signing email?
If you entered their email correctly, the app automatically sends it when the form is created.
What if my client doesn’t sign?
They have 30 hours to sign before the unsigned form is sent to you and your brokerage. They can still sign for up to 90 days after creation.
When will I receive my copy?
You’ll receive it either:
-
Moments after your client completes the form, or
-
30 hours after creation if unsigned, or
-
30 hours after any updates or new signatures.
Can I download it sooner?
Yes — on the Summary Page, click Download PDF. (Though the app will send it automatically, so you may not need to!)
What if I or my client don’t have email?
