I’m currently at a small bank fully remote and looking to leave. 10 years of experience in high risk areas

Researching this and cannot find a clear answer. Extensions run client side, so nothing shows in the case system logs.

Has anyone found a way to detect it, or is this invisible in practice?

A customer has maintained a personal bank account for three years, with regular salary payments and fairly stable spending.

Over the last two weeks:

The account receives 12 transfers from different individuals.

The total amount is around three times the customer's usual monthly salary.

Most of the funds are transferred to a crypto exchange within 24 hours.

The customer has no known history of significant crypto activity.

If you were investigating this case, what would be your first step, and what additional information would you need before deciding whether to escalate it?

Hi,

I’ve been in the gaming industry for close to 4 years now, 3 of those in a management position heavily focused on compliance. Have an interview tomorrow for an AML Compliance Specialist position. It’s a $10k a year pay cut for me (AML job pays $24 an hour). I’m trying to break into a new field that is semi connected to my current field. Does that pay sound reasonable for the position? I am located in NV. I’m knowledge in BSA, Title 31, casino ML techniques, etc. Thank you!

Hi everyone!
I’m preparing to take the CAMS 7 exam for the third time. I scored 56% on my first attempt and 69% on my second.

A few of my coworkers used ExamTopics and passed, so I’m wondering if anyone here has had success using it.

How similar are the questions to the actual exam? Would you recommend it, or are there better study resources?

I’m determined to pass this time and would appreciate any advice, especially from those who passed on their third attempt! Thanks in advance!

Hey, everyone. So a friend of mine who works for a recruiting company has seen a lot of demand for AML roles and he recommended I get a certification to get me started. How feasible is it, though? For someone without a degree.

I'm considering the ICA certificate. Would that be enough to potentially get me started in a junior role somewhere? Then maybe I can get credits and do the ACAMS one and progress from there?

I've looked at some job offer sites, and while I've seen some offers that don't require higher education, I see a lot of them that do. Did any of you get started in AML without a degree?

Thanks in advance.

If your business operates in real estate, precious metals, or another regulated sector in the UAE, this is worth checking.

A lot of businesses assume they're covered once they've registered on goAML and prepared their AML policy. But those are only parts of the bigger picture.

Depending on your business and regulatory requirements, AML compliance can also involve:

• A proper business risk assessment
• Customer due diligence (CDD) and identity verification
• Ongoing transaction monitoring
• Record-keeping and internal reporting procedures
• Staff AML training and regular policy reviews

Non-compliance can lead to significant administrative penalties and other regulatory consequences, depending on the violation.

Have you had an AML inspection yet, or are you currently reviewing your compliance setup? What part has been the most challenging to get right?

For those already working in AML/KYC, what’s one practical skill you wish you had learned before getting your first AML job?

Transaction monitoring?

Writing investigation narratives?

Understanding red flags?

KYC/EDD?

Using investigative tools?

I’m curious what experienced analysts think beginners should focus on before applying for their first role.
