AML training on FinCrime Dojo is built around active case simulations — not passive video content. You work through real alert scenarios drawn from banking, fintech and payments environments, identifying red flags, documenting your reasoning and making defensible escalation decisions exactly as you would in a live compliance role. Every case is reviewed against PMLA, BSA or FCA/MLR standards depending on jurisdiction.

01

Receive the alert

Enter the alert queue. See the customer profile, transaction history and triggered rule — same format as Actimize, Napier or WorldCheck.

02

Investigate and document

Apply typology knowledge. Document your red flag analysis. Draft investigation notes in regulatory-standard language.

03

Decide and get feedback

Escalate, monitor or close. Receive structured feedback on your reasoning quality — not just whether you chose correctly.

Curriculum

What You Will Practise

Delivered through active case simulations with structured analyst feedback — not passive video or multiple-choice quizzes.

Alert Triage and Queue Prioritisation

Work through high-volume alert queues drawn from realistic monitoring environments. Apply risk-based logic to prioritise which transactions warrant immediate investigation versus enhanced monitoring or closure. This is the core throughput skill gap in most AML teams — and the one least addressed by traditional e-learning.

Moving funds through multiple accounts and entities to obscure origin before integration.

Mule Network
HUB acct M1 M2 M3 M4

Controlled accounts used to receive and rapidly forward criminal proceeds to a central aggregator.

Round-tripping

Funds sent offshore and returned as apparent legitimate investment or loan, creating clean audit trail.

What is AML training on FinCrime Dojo?

It is a simulation-based training platform where you practise real AML analyst workflows — alert triage, suspicious transaction review, investigation writing and SAR/STR escalation — in a controlled but realistic environment. You make decisions, write documentation and receive structured feedback rather than watching videos or taking multiple-choice quizzes.

Is this AML training relevant for India (PMLA/FIU-IND), UK (FCA/MLR) and US (BSA/FinCEN)?

Yes. Scenarios reference all three frameworks. Indian scenarios use PMLA 2002 structuring thresholds, FIU-IND STR format and RBI guidelines. UK scenarios apply POCA 2002, MLR 2017 and UKFIU SAR standards. US scenarios reflect BSA, FinCEN SAR requirements and OFAC obligations. You can filter cases by jurisdiction.

What AML typologies are covered in the training?

Structuring and smurfing, mule account patterns (UPI, NEFT, IMPS, wallet), layering via shell entities, round-trip transactions, rapid fund movement, trade-based money laundering indicators, real estate layering, and digital payment typologies including crypto-to-bank movement patterns.

How does FinCrime Dojo differ from standard AML e-learning?

Standard e-learning is passive — watch, read, select from options. FinCrime Dojo is active — you make analyst decisions, write investigation notes and are assessed on the quality of your reasoning. The platform mirrors the actual workflows in Actimize, Napier and similar TM tools, so learning transfers directly to your role.

Does the training prepare me for CAMS, ICA or ACAMS qualifications?

The applied case experience directly complements exam-focused programmes like CAMS, ICA Certificate in AML and ACAMS Foundation. You develop the practical judgement those qualifications test theoretically — making real decisions on realistic cases and understanding why your reasoning succeeds or falls short of regulatory expectations.
