Anti Money Laundering

In the financial sector, preventing money laundering and related financial crime is essential to protecting the integrity of the institution, preserving client trust, and complying with applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies. Employees across the bank may encounter situations that raise money laundering concerns in their daily work, and understanding how to recognise and respond to such situations is a key part of professional responsibility.

In this course, you will develop a clear understanding of the key principles of anti-money laundering and the responsibilities involved when dealing with clients, transactions, and business relationships within the bank.

You will explore the fundamentals of money laundering, the main international standards, and the Swiss legal and regulatory framework governing AML obligations. You will also become familiar with the due diligence principles used to identify, assess, and manage AML risks.

Through practical examples and realistic scenarios, you will learn how to recognise warning signs, understand the importance of client and transaction information, and respond appropriately when an issue requires attention or escalation.
