I have around 3 years of experience in retail banking as a Banking Associate and Financial Advisor. I've been getting recruiter messages, but most of the roles are sales/client-facing, which I'm trying to move away from.

I'm interested in AML/KYC/compliance and was wondering if getting ACAMS would actually help me make the switch. I don't have any direct compliance experience, so I'm not sure if the certification would be enough to get me considered for entry-level roles.

For those already working in AML/compliance, do you think ACAMS is worth doing in my situation? Or would my time and money be better spent trying to get into a junior compliance role first?

Also, what kind of roles would you recommend someone with my background target?
