Program Overview: What is AML/CFT for Fintech and Crypto Businesses?
AML/CFT for Fintech & Crypto Businesses is a 29-hour program for compliance, financial crime, product, and audit teams at fintech and crypto companies. It covers AML/CFT foundations, KYC and due diligence, transaction monitoring, crypto analytics and the travel rule, SAR filing, and audit readiness. Across seven modules, participants map money-laundering risk against their own products and flows.
Training blends concise instructor briefings with guided hands-on labs and practice scenarios built around your products and customer journeys. Participants run KYC workflows end to end, design monitoring scenarios, triage practice alerts, and trace on-chain transfers. Instructors review every exercise and give direct feedback on judgment calls. The program closes with a five-hour capstone where participants build a complete AML/CFT program for one real business segment and present it for review.
Fintech and crypto businesses grow fast, and financial crime risk hides inside live products long before regulators notice. Weak KYC, noisy monitoring, and thin audit trails invite examiner findings and fines. This program teaches teams to build detection scenarios that catch real suspicious activity, write SAR narratives regulators accept, and keep the audit trail that proves controls work.
They walk away with a complete AML/CFT program drafted for their own business line, KYC, monitoring scenarios, travel rule controls. For a fintech, that is the difference between scaling and stalling.
Across seven modules and 29 hours, the program moves from AML/CFT foundations to a capstone program build. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab: running KYC, tuning monitoring scenarios, tracing on-chain transfers, and drafting SARs. Each lab produces artifacts your teams keep and reuse. Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts learn as one workforce, and content adapts to each team's role and product line.

Teams that Benefit from this AML/CFT for Fintech and Crypto Businesses Group Training
Financial crime risk sits with compliance, but product and operations teams feel it daily. This section maps the program to the functions that run KYC, monitor transactions, and answer to regulators. Content adapts to each role and experience level, so every cohort practices the workflows it owns.
Run AML/CFT controls without gaps
Compliance teams own KYC, monitoring, and reporting for fintech products. The program gives them working procedures, defensible controls, and evidence packs that stand up to regulatory review.
Workflow friction
- Customer onboarding slows growth
- Alerts overwhelm small teams
- Regulatory expectations keep shifting
How the program helps
- Run KYC checks auditors accept
- Tune monitoring that catches risk
- Show regulators a clean evidence trail
Practice use cases
- KYC workflow labs
- Monitoring scenario builds
- SAR drafting drills
Investigate alerts with confidence
Financial crime teams triage alerts and investigate suspicious activity daily. Participants sharpen investigation technique, SAR quality, and case documentation so alerts become defensible decisions.
Workflow friction
- False positives eat analyst time
- Crypto cases need new techniques
- Case notes lack audit detail
How the program helps
- Triage alerts faster and cleaner
- Write SARs that hold up
- Document cases for auditors
Practice use cases
- Alert triage labs
- On-chain tracing drills
- Case file exercises
Build compliance into products
Product and engineering teams design the onboarding and payment flows where controls live. The program shows how KYC, screening, and the travel rule map to features, so compliance ships at launch.
Workflow friction
- Compliance added after launch
- KYC friction drops conversion
- Travel rule needs new data fields
How the program helps
- Design KYC-ready user flows
- Embed screening into features
- Ship travel rule data capture
Practice use cases
- Flow mapping labs
- Control design sprints
- API data exercises
Test AML controls with confidence
Internal audit teams need evidence, not promises. Participants learn what to request, how to test KYC and monitoring controls, and how to run a mock review, so findings land before an examiner's do.
Workflow friction
- No audit trail for key decisions
- Monitoring models never validated
- Evidence scattered across owners
How the program helps
- Request the right AML evidence
- Test controls with mock reviews
- Report gaps with remediation plans
Practice use cases
- Mock review exercises
- Evidence pack drills
- Control testing labs
Cohorts train as one cross-functional workforce, with content adapted to each team's role, tools, and risk profile.
