Lo que serás capaz de hacer
If you’re here, you’re probably starting your career in compliance, banking, or fintech and you want to build the confidence to speak the language of AML from day one. This course takes you inside that world! Welcome to the Compliance Ninja - Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Basics course, your practical introduction to the world of Anti-Money Laundering Compliance and FinCrime. I’m Phil and I'm an AML professional with over a decade of experience in compliance and the financial industry. I’ve worked with leading consulting firms like PwC and TCS, supporting major European banks such as ING, Rabobank, and Deutsche Bank, as well as smaller payment institutions. Currently, I’m part of one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, still actively working as Money Laundering Reporting Officer. In this course you’ll follow the money from the first suspicious deposit to complex offshore structures and see how each stage of laundering unfolds: placement, layering, and integration. You’ll learn more about Terrorist Financing - and yes, it has its own stages too. Then we’ll unpack the core principles of AML governance like the Three Lines of Defense model, Risk-Based Approach, and key controls like Customer Due Diligence (CDD, KYC and KYB), Transaction Monitoring, Suspicious Activity Reporting (SARs), and Sanctions Compliance. Each has its own dedicated unit, so don’t worry, you’ll get it all step by step. Finally, we’ll dive into risk factors like client, industry, product, and geographic risk and other red flags including adverse media, PEPs, complex ownership, and shell or offshore companies. Every section includes short, focused videos, practical examples, and knowledge checks to reinforce learning. No unnecessary theory, just what you need to confidently navigate AML in real-world scenarios. To make it even easier, you’ll receive the Compliance Ninja AML Handbook, a concise companion document you can reference during and after the course. Finally, you’ll wrap up with a Bonus Section exploring AML’s origins, global organizations, and the laws that built today’s compliance landscape - perfect for learners who want the full picture. Join me inside and let’s explore the AML world together. See you in class! Phil
