AML/CFT Training & Awareness for Money Services Businesses
Training is a legal obligation and your first line of defence. ABM Global Compliance delivers role-based AML/CFT training and awareness programmes for money services businesses in Spain, turning regulatory requirements into knowledge your staff actually use.
AML Training Built Around Real Roles
Every EU money services business must train its staff on money laundering and terrorist financing risks, and regulators check. They expect training matched to each role, refreshed regularly, and documented properly, covering typologies, red flags, customer due diligence, sanctions, and reporting duties. Generic annual slideshows fail that test, and untrained front-line staff remain the weakest point in any framework.
Our programmes are built around how your business actually works. Front-line staff learn to recognise the red flags in your products, senior management learn their accountability, and compliance officers deepen their technical capability. Every session uses realistic scenarios from the money services sector, and every completion is documented so your training records satisfy inspection.
What Our Training Programmes Cover
Effective training reaches every level of your business differently, so our programmes are structured by role and risk. From induction sessions for new joiners to specialist development for compliance officers, we deliver training that satisfies regulatory requirements and genuinely changes daily behaviour.
Induction Training
Practical AML/CFT foundations for new joiners delivered before they ever touch customer transactions.
Role-Based Training
Targeted training sessions matched to the specific risks each role encounters every day.

Board and senior management sessions covering accountability, oversight duties, and governance supervisory expectations.

AML Training Questions Answered
Is AML training legally required for MSBs?
Yes. EU anti-money laundering directives and national laws require regular, documented AML/CFT training for relevant staff, and regulators routinely review training records during inspections.
How often should staff complete training?
Induction training before customer-facing work begins, refreshers at least annually, and additional sessions after significant regulatory changes, new products, or identified compliance issues, including Law 10/2010 duties.
What should AML training actually cover?
Money laundering and terrorist financing typologies, red-flag recognition, customer due diligence, sanctions screening, internal escalation, and suspicious activity reporting, tailored to each role’s real exposure.
Is training delivered online or in person?
Both. We deliver live workshops, remote sessions, and structured e-learning programmes, and most clients combine several formats to cover distributed teams efficiently.
Do participants receive completion certificates?
Yes. Every participant is assessed and certified on completion, and you receive complete training records ready for regulator inspection or internal audit review.
