Who We Are

International KYC (i-KYC) is a leading Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) training and advisory firm, headquartered in the Netherlands with an office in Singapore and a global partner network  of international bankers, regulatory specialists and business integrity experts. Since our start, we have delivered over 37,000 unique training modules across 36 courses, in 26 countries, to 62 corporate customers spanning banks, payment service providers, corporates, and regulators.

At i-KYC, we believe that compliance begins with understanding. Our consultants and trainers bring decades of hands-on expertise from banking, risk, and compliance functions, ensuring that every programme we design is grounded in real-world application rather than theory alone. We support the full spectrum of the financial sector, from global financial institutions and supervisory authorities to AML enforcement agencies such as Financial Intelligence Units.

“Know Your Customer” lies at the heart of every financial institution’s commercial success and its integrity. Our mission is to reconcile our clients’ business priorities with their AML/CFT compliance obligations — systematically protecting organisations against regulatory and reputational risk, optimising the time required by front-office staff for KYC administration, and maximising the commercial value of the information gathered during the customer due diligence process.

Our Approach

Organisations face a complex web of challenges when managing financial crime compliance requirements across regions, lines of business, products and systems. To help our clients navigate this complexity, i-KYC applies a structured, three-stage methodology that gives management a thorough understanding of the organisation’s AML/CFT health and identifies weak spots before they become liabilities:

• Assess — We evaluate compliance awareness, knowledge and skill levels, and case file quality across the organisation.
• Advise — We engage senior management, front and back office staff, and the compliance function to align on priorities and remediation paths.
• Address — We deliver targeted training, repair client files, and improve processes and tooling to close identified gaps.

This holistic approach ensures sustainable results: compliance is not treated as a one-off project, but embedded as a lasting capability within the organisation’s culture.

How We Help

Training

Training is at the core of what we do. Our portfolio ensures clients maximise learning benefits while enhancing AML/CFT awareness at every level, from client-facing staff to senior business leaders. Courses can be delivered off-the-shelf or fully tailored, and span Training Needs Assessments, e-Learning, classroom training, and Learning Management Solutions (LMS).

• Training Needs Assessment — aligning on KPIs and learning requirements through surveys, stakeholder interviews, and gap analysis to design targeted business integrity training programmes (AML, Anti-Bribery & Corruption, FATCA, sanctions, and more).
• e-Learning — innovative, frequently updated e-learning curriculums, ideal for delivering consistent training to large and geographically dispersed populations.
• Classroom Training, Courses & Workshops — hands-on programmes for wholesale banking, retail banking and wealth management, including our flagship KYC Certification Programme for Customer Due Diligence analysts, and “7 AML Tips for Business Leaders” for senior management.
• Learning Management Solution (LMS) — a flexible, pay-as-you-go platform to manage an organisation’s entire professional learning plan, personalise learning paths, incorporate third-party content, and audit and report on training outcomes.

Our curriculum covers the full spectrum of financial crime topics, including AML/CFT fundamentals, sanctions compliance, Trade-Based Money Laundering, correspondent banking, cash and treasury products, offshore corporate structures, mobile banking and new technology, FATCA/CRS, crypto and virtual assets, and tax-related and risk-based courses — each aligned with international best practices and adapted to local regulatory requirements.

KYC Support & Solutions

Beyond training, i-KYC’s advisory services cover the full range of operational AML considerations. Our Operational AML Risk Scans provide a fresh, expert perspective on clients’ AML processes, procedures and data, assessed against current industry requirements and internal policy — covering file completeness, internal controls, escalation procedures, and the interplay between KYC processes and transaction monitoring.

Our Operational Control Design & Process Optimisation service brings strategy, process, people and technology together: we help design comprehensive control frameworks, streamline processes against best market practice, and advise on appropriate AML/CFT IT solutions. When regulatory change or an unexpected finding triggers a need for file review, our Re-papering, Remediation and Look-Back services provide experienced project leadership and hands-on KYC analysts — available as a fully managed KYC-as-a-Service offering for organisations of any size.

Staffing

Good judgment is essential to effective AML/CFT compliance. i-KYC helps clients ensure the right people, with the right experience, are in the right roles — through temporary staffing and executive search services designed to relieve capacity constraints during periods of regulatory change or increased scrutiny.

Global Reach

i-KYC partners with leading banks, corporates and regulators across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Our clients trust us to bridge global compliance standards with local operational challenges, delivering programmes that strengthen control frameworks and promote a genuine culture of integrity — wherever they operate.

We are headquartered in the Netherlands, with an office in Singapore, supporting clients across time zones and regulatory environments worldwide.

Staying Ahead of Regulatory Change

Financial crime risk does not stand still, and neither do we. i-KYC maintains an active programme of regulatory monitoring and thought leadership, tracking developments such as FATF mutual evaluations, the growing regulatory focus on proliferation financing, and the practical challenges of implementing AI within financial services compliance functions. This ongoing research feeds directly back into our course content, ensuring that the training we deliver reflects not only established best practice but also the regulatory direction of travel — so that our clients’ staff are prepared for what is coming next, not only what is already in force.

This commitment to currency is one of the reasons organisations return to i-KYC as their training curriculums mature: rather than a static, one-off course library, we offer a living curriculum that is reviewed and refreshed to reflect new typologies, new technology risks, and new regulatory expectations as they emerge.

Our Commitment

We take a holistic, long-term view of compliance capability. Rather than treating training as a box-ticking exercise, i-KYC works with clients to build a genuine learning organisation — one that encourages and values learning at every level and fosters a culture of ongoing development and growth. This philosophy shapes everything we do, from the design of a single e-learning module to the delivery of a multi-year, multi-jurisdiction training programme.

Whether you are a global financial institution managing AML obligations across dozens of markets, a regional bank strengthening front-line awareness, or a regulator seeking to build supervisory capacity, i-KYC brings the practical, real-world expertise needed to turn regulatory obligation into organisational capability.
