The GTA University Centre has forged a partnership with a Jersey-based business that provides an online information portal for anti money laundering professionals.
KYC360, which is launching its new remodeled site in Guernsey next week, is a membership community of anti-money laundering and financial crime prevention professionals drawn from the financial services industry, law enforcement, and regulators. It operates at the forefront of the global fight against financial crime and is trusted by AML and compliance professionals worldwide.
GTA chief executive Simon Le Tocq said: "This is a fantastic knowledge partnership for the GTA as the site offers high quality, up-to-date information for anyone involved in combatting financial crime. It will complement the AML courses and seminars we run and provide a vital tool to help keep the local business community informed about all the latest developments."
Established in 2005, its aim was to support money laundering reporting officers who were facing the challenge of meeting new and rapidly evolving legislation. It quickly attracted a significant following from AML professionals in the finance industry, law enforcement and regulators around the world and in January 2016, it had 36,000 members. By that time thousands of searches were being conducted every day on KYC360’s customer screening tool RiskScreen aimed at guarding organisations against financial crime.
The KYC platform and RiskScreen have recently been developed and significantly upgraded and KYC360 founder Stephen Platt will give a detailed explanation of its capabilities at the launch.
Attendees of the launch event will be given an exclusive discount code for membership of KYC360 and RiskScreen entitling them to a 15% saving on the introductory offer price.
