KYC, CDD, and EDD Masterclass

In today’s increasingly complex financial crime landscape, financial institutions must do more than simply identify their customers. They must understand who their customers are, assess the risks they present, and continuously monitor those risks throughout the customer lifecycle.

The KYC, CDD & EDD Masterclass is a comprehensive and practical training program designed to help you develop real-world customer due diligence skills used by banks, fintechs, payment companies, cryptocurrency firms, and other regulated financial institutions.

This course takes you through the complete customer due diligence lifecycle – from customer onboarding and identity verification to risk assessment, beneficial ownership analysis, sanctions screening, source of funds reviews, source of wealth investigations, and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for high-risk customers.

Unlike many compliance courses that focus primarily on regulations and theory, this program emphasizes practical application. Through real-world examples, case studies, and risk-based decision-making exercises, you will learn how KYC analysts, compliance officers, and financial crime professionals assess customer risk and make informed onboarding and monitoring decisions.

Throughout the course, you will explore:

• KYC, CDD, SDD, and EDD fundamentals
• Customer identification and verification techniques
• Individual and business customer onboarding reviews
• Customer risk profiling and risk-rating methodologies
• Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) identification and verification
• Sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening investigations
• Source of Funds (SOF) and Source of Wealth (SOW) assessments
• Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) investigations and decision-making
• High-risk customer reviews and sector-specific due diligence
• Ongoing monitoring, trigger-event reviews, and periodic refreshes
• Professional KYC, CDD, and EDD case documentation

Whether you are an aspiring KYC analyst, AML professional, compliance officer, financial crime investigator, banking professional, fintech practitioner, or certification candidate, this course will provide you with practical knowledge and skills that can be immediately applied in the workplace.

By the end of this course, you will understand how to identify, assess, investigate, and manage customer risk using a risk-based approach aligned with industry best practices and regulatory expectations.
