Course Description:
Sanctions compliance isn’t just for global banks—it’s essential for fintechs, MSBs, and crypto firms navigating fast-moving payments, partnerships, and digital assets. This session breaks down the core concepts every compliance team must understand: what sanctions are, how they apply to your business model, and how to build a program that regulators respect. We’ll cover screening basics (including wallet addresses), ownership thresholds, and common missteps that lead to enforcement—even when intent is low-risk. Whether you’re new to sanctions or need a refresher, this course will help you build clarity, confidence, and control.
Who Should Attend:
Risk, compliance, and BSA/AML professionals at fintechs, MSBs, banks, and crypto-related companies responsible for sanctions screening, onboarding, and oversight.
Agenda Highlights:
What sanctions are (and aren’t): OFAC, UN, EU, UK regimes demystified
Types of sanctions: comprehensive, sectoral, targeted, secondary
Screening essentials: names, ownership, geography, wallet addresses, fuzzy logic
Common myths and mistakes: “we’re domestic” ≠ no exposure
Building a sanctions program that actually works
Learning Outcomes:
Understand key sanctions regimes and how they apply to your institution
Identify common exposure points in fintech, MSB, and crypto operations
Build a foundational sanctions framework with confidence
Avoid costly mistakes through practical controls and clarity
Note: This program meets the eligibility criteria for continuing education under ACFCS and is eligible for 1 credit.
