AML Transaction Monitoring 2.0 course for professionals who want to understand how modern transaction monitoring works in practice, from rule design to investigations and reporting.

This is a complete relaunch of our original Transaction Monitoring course. First launched in 2024, it's since been completed by more than 6,000 professionals, making it our biggest and most in-demand course to date. AML Transaction Monitoring 2.0 brings a new outline, new speakers, and a sharper focus on how monitoring actually runs inside a compliance team, from rule design and alert review to investigations, case management, and FIU reporting.

Built around real transaction monitoring workflows, the program covers how monitoring changes across banking, crypto, iGaming, and trading, and how programs get tuned, tested, and improved once they're live. It's led by senior AML and financial crime practitioners from Monzo, Vivid, and Mercuryo, alongside Sumsub's own AML product team, combining expert-led sessions, real cases, and product walkthroughs.
