[@amirbehboodi9703]

Thanks for excelent videos. In number 5, what credit and debit mean? Credit is depositing money and debit is withdrawing money?

[@FinCrimeAgent]

Hi Amir, for rule 5 credits and debits are seen more as amount of money going in and out of the account. As mentioned in the video that rule is often applicable to a merchant like a market place so they won’t have many actual withdrawals but rather flow of money in/out. Let me know if this clarification was helpful🙂 Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@amirbehboodi9703]

@@FinCrimeAgent Thanks it was helpful. I appreciate your explanation.

[@KK-ob9fo]

thank you for the videos, one question. which real-time transaction monitoring solution you can recommend, for small PSP, up to 25k transactions per month?

[@FinCrimeAgent]

Thanks for your question! For a PSP handling up to 25k transactions per month, I’d recommend looking for a solution that’s scalable, offers customizable rules, and is easy to integrate. Make sure it’s cost-effective and compliant with regulations, and consider platforms that use AI to reduce false positives. Since I work for a vendor in this space, I can’t provide specific company names for obvious reasons, but feel free to reach out if you need more general guidance!

[@Matlabkuchbhijese]

Any idea on criteria to convert High Risk customers to med risk

[@FinCrimeAgent]

Hi, thanks for commenting on the video. Your question is an interesting one but I don’t think I can give you a straight answer to it. There are many things to consider, but at high level I think that it will depend very much on what makes the customer high risk in the first place. If practical actions can be taken by the client to reduce their high risk status, then keeping their RM involved for ongoing discussions with the AML/Compliance team could help the customer in return better understand their risks and guide them into a lower risk tier. Although, in real terms this can also be very challenging as the approach would need to be: a) in line with your company policy on dealing with high risk clients; b) should not be in conflict with relevant regulations dictated by your jurisdiction; and c) be an internally agreed approach that does not create risks of tipping off. As a starting point I can suggest you to discuss the matter internally with your risk or compliance team. If this problem is applicable to a cluster of customers your organisation could also consider starting a programme to address those issues in a more structured way. I hope this make sense and thank you agin for watching my videos.

[@lefkizafiropoulou1084]

hey there , please can you show the compliance monitoring programe in excel for example.

[@FinCrimeAgent]

Hi Lefki, thanks for commenting on the video. The rules I mention in this video are typically implemented using an AML TM automated solution. I assume that you could write some basic rules in excel should you wish to run your AML TM analysis in a manual fashion… However, I doubt a manual process would provide you with the effectiveness and efficiency now expected by most regulators.

i work in a bank as a amlofficer and i wanted a work of amlcft in foreign country like US. Is there any possibility for getting a amljob there sir ?

[@FinCrimeAgent]

Hi Diwas, thanks for reaching out. Personally I am sorry but I can’t help - Perhaps you might want to explore international job boards and consult with global recruitment agencies specializing in AML/CFT roles. Networking on LinkedIn and attending relevant industry conferences could also help. My best wishes for your career change and relocation 🤞🏻

[@ChristinaFarrugia]

Do you have any typical AML rules/scenarios for debit card withdrawals and usage?

[@FinCrimeAgent]

Hi Christina, thanks for your comment. I'm leaving some of those AML TM rules for you here and I hope they will help you as a starting point. - Large or frequent cash withdrawals: This rule is designed to detect large or frequent cash withdrawals, which may indicate an attempt to withdraw funds obtained through illicit activities. The rule might trigger an alert if a customer withdraws cash in amounts above a certain threshold, or if they make a large number of withdrawals within a certain period of time. - High-risk merchant: This rule is designed to detect transactions that occur at high-risk merchants, such as casinos, jewellery stores, or car rental agencies. These types of merchants are commonly associated with money laundering activities, and transactions that occur at these merchants may be flagged for further investigation. - Structuring: This rule is designed to detect transactions that are structured to avoid the reporting requirements of cash transactions above a certain threshold. Transactions that appear to be structured in this way can indicate an attempt to evade detection by breaking a large transaction into smaller, less noticeable amounts. - Suspicious debit card usage: This rule is designed to detect debit card usage patterns that are indicative of money laundering activities. For example, if a customer has been using the debit card in a location different from their usual location, or if the customer has been making purchases that do not match their usual spending patterns, these transactions might be flagged for further investigation. Please do keep in mind that these are just a few examples of the types of rules that a typical AML transaction monitoring system may use to identify suspicious activity related to debit card withdrawals and usage. These rules are just a starting point, and transaction monitoring systems are typically customized to meet the specific needs of each financial institution. I hope this is helpful. Marco

i want to get an AML, where can I do the training?

[@FinCrimeAgent]

Hi there. Many organisations support traditional education courses allowing you to receive certificates or even diploma in AML and other Fin-Crime related topics. Some of the most known in the industry are ACAMS and the ICA and they are generally well recognised (I'm not associated with any of those organisations by the way). So formal education is indeed a good avenue to take. Also, your own industry knowledge developed with time is going to play a key part to further support your learning path and future career. I try to provide useful information from my videos so I hope that some of my contents can assist you to enrich your understanding on those topics you want to learn more about. In one of my 1 to 1 sessions we discussed the importance of Financial Crime Compliance trainings so perhaps you are also interested to watch that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJKUhoGnfp6qjZI Do let me know how you are getting on and if you need more info leave your comments on my videos as we have a fantastic community here that can also give you more tips.
