KYC/AML courses
Companies specializing in conducting activities related to conducting transactions through funds and property are required to master all the nuances of countering money laundering, as well as the financing of terrorism.
Since March 2020, amendments have been made at the legislative level to the Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorist Activities.
In accordance with the amendments approved by government authorities, every company registered in Estonia must have on staff Director or Specialist (officer) KYC (Know you client - know your client)/AML (Anti-money laundering - combating money laundering).
The new direction consists of a lot of important aspects that cannot be mastered on your own. You can take professional courses from a trusted training company.
