KYC, AML & Compliance in Fintech
Make compliance a product discipline: customer onboarding that scales, monitoring that catches real risk, and documentation that satisfies auditors—not checkbox theater.
Format: 2 weeks · instructor-led or self-paced options · certificate of completion · examples from our production builds (Meras, Infinipi, and others).
What you will be able to do
- Differentiate KYC, KYB, CDD, EDD, and ongoing due diligence triggers.
- Select identity proofing patterns: document, biometric, database, step-up.
- Integrate sanctions and PEP screening with match resolution workflows.
- Partner with TM teams on scenarios, tuning, and model governance.
- Embed privacy: data minimization, lawful basis themes, retention schedules.
- Prepare for exams: control narratives, sampling, evidence repositories.
