Emerging technology such as AI has enabled threat actors to take a sophisticated approach to fraud, with global full-cycle identity verification platform, Sumsub, revealing a 10x increase in the number of deepfakes detected worldwide from 2022 to 2023.
Now, Sumsub is gearing up for a second iteration of its Advanced Transaction Monitoring Masterclass 2024, which will help over 2,500 anti-money laundering (AML), anti-fraud, and compliance professionals in the fintech sector to boost their knowledge in combating financial crime issues facing their respective companies.
Ninety-nine per cent of participants claimed that last year’s course helped them improve the skills required for their current roles and would recommend it to peers. The highest proportion of participants (41.4 per cent) were from the fintech industry, followed by the crypto sector (14.7 per cent).
The free course, with alternatives that typically cost over $800, offers insights from a diverse group of financial crime experts who shared expertise during the first module. These courses range from junior compliance officers to seasoned Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLROs).
