About AFCA

Founded in 2022, the Anti Financial Crime Academy (AFCA) began as a small initiative to help professionals master AML and KYC fundamentals. What started with a few learners soon evolved into a full-time mission — helping hundreds build successful careers in compliance and financial crime prevention.

AFCA focuses on practical, job-ready learning — not just theory. Each participant receives hands-on exposure through case studies, interview preparation, CV support, and complete job assistance until they secure an offer. Since 2024, AFCA has been officially registered and issues completion certificates while continuously updating its curriculum to include essential job and professional skills — the ones traditional education often overlooks.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between learning and employability — empowering professionals to think like risk experts, master AML processes, and succeed in global compliance roles.

Our Three Pillars of Learning

1️⃣ Domain Expertise

Building financial crime perspective is our foundation. Most AML professionals focus on operations and productivity metrics — not on understanding crime prevention. We train learners to think like true risk professionals who analyze patterns, identify red flags, and strengthen financial systems against fraud and crime.

2️⃣ Process Expertise

In AML operations, processes such as KYC, CIP, CDD, Screening, Risk Assessment, EDD, and Transaction Monitoring act like vital organs of a healthy compliance system. Through real-life demo tools and simulations, we provide end-to-end process experience so participants can meet regulatory expectations and achieve both quality and productivity goals with confidence.

3️⃣ Job Skills & Professional Growth

Knowledge alone isn’t enough — communication and presentation define success. We teach professional skills like interview psychology, stress handling, salary negotiation, personal branding, and LinkedIn/Naukri optimization. Learners master how to make an interview a confident, meaningful conversation — not just a Q&A session.
