The "Know Your Customer (KYC)" course is an essential training programme for professionals and businesses that need to understand and comply with financial regulations in today’s increasingly monitored economy. The course begins with an overview of KYC, explaining its role in identity verification, fraud prevention, and maintaining trust in financial transactions. Learners will grasp why KYC is a fundamental part of risk management and a legal necessity for companies handling customer data or financial activities.

The curriculum then explores the specific regulations governing KYC, anti-money laundering (AML), and data privacy, with a focus on requirements for businesses operating in the United Kingdom. This module ensures learners understand their responsibilities under UK law, including key frameworks such as the Money Laundering Regulations, GDPR, and the Proceeds of Crime Act. Compliance is not optional—this course teaches how to navigate the regulatory landscape effectively.

Further lectures identify the types of industries that must comply with KYC and AML regulations, including financial institutions, fintech firms, legal practices, and real estate companies. Learners are then introduced to practical methods for performing KYC and AML, such as document verification, customer risk assessments, and transaction monitoring. This hands-on knowledge enables professionals to implement or improve compliance protocols and avoid legal or financial penalties.

By the end of the course, participants will have the expertise to manage KYC processes confidently and ensure compliance within their organisations. They will be better prepared to protect their businesses from financial crime while enhancing transparency and trust with clients and regulators.
