AML/CFT Training & Awareness in Belgium
An effective AML/CFT framework begins with knowledgeable people and a strong compliance culture. At ABM Global Compliance, we provide specialist AML/CFT Training & Awareness services that help Money Service Businesses strengthen regulatory knowledge, improve financial crime awareness, and embed compliance throughout the organisation.
Supporting Compliance & Financial Crime Prevention
Money Service Businesses (MSBs) operating in Belgium are required to establish effective Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) programmes supported by regular employee training and ongoing awareness initiatives. Under the Belgian Anti-Money Laundering Law of 18 September 2017, regulated firms must help ensure that employees, senior management, and key control functions understand their legal obligations, recognise financial crime risks.
Money Service Businesses operate in an environment exposed to heightened money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and sanctions risks. Belgian regulators expect firms to maintain ongoing training programmes that help ensure employees understand customer due diligence requirements, recognise suspicious activity, comply with reporting obligations, and apply internal policies consistently across the organisation.

Your Questions Answered
Is compliance training mandatory in Belgium?
Yes for AML/CFT: the Belgian AML Law of 18 September 2017 requires ongoing role-relevant training, and the NBB expects firms to evidence it. Training quality also signals compliance culture.
How often should staff be trained?
At least annually for core AML/CFT content, at onboarding for new joiners, and after significant regulatory or product change. Relevance matters more than frequency.
What makes training actually effective?
Role relevance, real scenarios from your business, genuine assessment of understanding, and documented completion. Identical unassessed e-learning for every role is a recognisable ritual.
Do boards need separate training?
Yes. Directors carry personal governance accountability, so we deliver executive sessions on oversight responsibilities, regulatory expectations, and the questions boards should ask.
Can training be tailored to our business?
Always. Content is built around your services, customers, risk profile, and the specific Belgian and European rules that apply, in whatever format suits your teams.
