Finance AML/CTF Compliance 101 Guide

Discover how to stay ahead of regulators with our AML Compliance 101 Guide—practical steps, real cases, and a toolkit to keep your financial business safe and audit-ready

Compliance failures are expensive. Starling Bank paid £28.9 million in 2024 for theirs. That’s damaged reputation, regulator distrust, and a rather large hole in your pocket, should it happen to you. 

To help you stay safe, we’ve released the Finance AML Compliance 101 Guide for 2026. It covers:

  • Core AML obligations for banks, payments, wallets, and BNPLs
  • How to avoid regulatory traps that caught high-growth players in 2024-25
  • Practical steps to meet monitoring, screening, and reporting demands
  • A toolkit to future-proof your AML program for 2026 and beyond

Stay compliant. Stay in business.
