Description

Money laundering is an evolving and sophisticated threat to global financial systems — and Money Service Businesses (MSBs) are among the most exposed. The ease with which criminals can exploit services such as money transfers, currency exchanges, and check cashing puts MSBs at the forefront of regulatory scrutiny.

Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are tightening AML regulations and ramping up enforcement. As a result, MSBs face significant compliance expectations — and failure to meet them can result in heavy penalties, license revocation, reputational damage, and even criminal liability.

Whether you are an MSB owner, compliance officer, auditor, or frontline employee, having a strong understanding of AML obligations is no longer optional — it is essential.

This practical course is specifically designed to empower MSB professionals with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to build and maintain an effective AML compliance framework.

Through clear explanations and real-world examples, you will learn:
1. How money laundering operates in the MSB sector — and why MSBs are often targeted.
2. How to identify red flags, suspicious activities, and typologies unique to MSBs.
3. How to design and implement a risk-based AML program that meets both regulatory standards and your business needs.
4. How to stay prepared for regulatory exams and audits — and create a culture of compliance in your organization.

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to actively protect your MSB, your customers, and your community from being used as a conduit for financial crime — and contribute meaningfully to the global fight against money laundering.

Who this course is for:

  • Owners, operators, and employees of Money Service Businesses (MSBs) such as money transmitters, currency exchanges, and check cashers.
  • Compliance officers and staff responsible for AML compliance in Money Service Businesses.
  • Frontline MSB staff (such as agents, tellers, and customer-facing employees) seeking to understand AML risks and requirements.
  • Financial professionals, consultants, and auditors working with or advising Money Service Businesses.
  • Anyone interested in building foundational AML knowledge specific to the Money Service Business sector.
