Whether you're looking to start a career in compliance, enhance your role in banking or finance, or simply want to understand how global institutions combat illicit financial activity, this course provides the knowledge and practical tools to get you there.

We begin by breaking down the foundation of money laundering: what it is, how it works, and why it's such a serious global threat to economic integrity. You’ll explore the full money laundering cycle, including placement, layering, and integration — explained in simple language.


From there, we dive into the frameworks that protect against it:


  • Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures

  • Handling Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)

  • Recognizing red flags and suspicious behavior

  • Filing Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) correctly

  • Understanding FATF recommendations, sanctions, and global enforcement efforts


You'll also analyze real-world failures in compliance from major institutions like HSBC and Danske Bank — learning exactly what went wrong and how it could have been prevented.


This course includes:

  • Expert-level instruction explained in simple, digestible language

  • Downloadable resources, templates, checklists, and visual guides

  • Scenario-based practice to apply what you've learned

  • Final videos covering enforcement actions and compliance careers

  • No experience needed — just curiosity and attention to detail


By the end of this course, you'll not only understand how financial institutions identify and manage compliance risk — you'll be prepared to contribute meaningfully to the fight against money laundering in your future career.
