How to become an AML analyst?

An anti-money laundering analyst, also known as an AML analyst or AML surveillance analyst, has multiple responsibilities, including helping monitor and limit suspicious bank transactions. They often provide identification services for a bank or other financial institution to reduce the risk of a bad transaction. Educational qualifications vary, but a CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) certification is necessary. Before taking the certification test, applicants need to have a certain accumulation of college credits, professional certifications, and work experience.
