Rough Seas: Caribbean Credit Unions Navigate Tough AML Challenges

1
ACAMS Credit
Overview
They may lack the name recognition of higher-profile institutions, but Caribbean credit unions are a vital cog in the region’s economic engine, comprising $8.5 billion in assets and 2.6 million members. But even in the best of times, effective AML is a costly proposition for these comparatively small organizations. And 2020 brought the added stress of the Covid crisis, which decimated tourism, crimped expat remittances and increased fraud risks. In this webinar, Caribbean credit union compliance specialists share practical insights and creative solutions for keeping AML and anti-financial crime programs rigorous amid unprecedented challenges.
