About AML·FT
An operator-grade course for FinTech founders, product managers, early compliance hires, and BSA officers at neobanks and crypto/VASP businesses — a corner of the market with exploding hiring and very few good courses.
It leans on real enforcement actions and real diligence questions: the MSB licensing stack, KYC for digital onboarding, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, the crypto Travel Rule, sponsor-bank relationships, and a maturity roadmap from pre-launch to Series C.
Format
No certification exam — an operator-grade course (15 lectures, ~3.5 hours) on building a defensible FinTech/crypto AML program, grounded in current enforcement.
