Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Client (KYC) Training for Obtaining an Estonian Financial Activity Service License
There are numerous activities in the Estonian financial sector which require authorization and licensing by the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) or by the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority (FSA).
Financial activities which require licensing in Estonia:
- Operating as a financial institution
- Trust and company services
- Pawnbroker’s services
- Virtual currency services
- Purchase or wholesale of precious metals, articles of precious metals or precious stones
To successfully obtain licenses, each company must comply with the Estonian Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act. The Estonian AML law has several prerequisites that each company and their board members must follow and have a defined KYC understanding to be able to identify, report and lower the company’s risk regarding money laundering.
During the training process, we will teach the aspects of the Estonian AML law which each licensed entity must follow before, during and after they are obtaining their licenses. We help to define and outline the internal policies which must be set in place by the company, so the business stays compliant with the local laws and international standards in KYC.
Once the training is complete, one will have enough knowledge and information regarding AML and KYC requirements that they can successfully gather, analyze, and put together the relevant information towards obtaining their financial activity license for an Estonian company.
