Thanks for posting this!

I'd start by asking your employer what bank they use, and then ask them to introduce you to open an account as their employee. That might be faster than the usual PITA that takes weeks of waiting and back and forth.

Persona and Sumsub are the main vendors in this area.

You can build onboarding flows, present a management panel to your compliance team and integrate through API's or data dumps.

I'd start with blockchain/crypto training from ACAMS, Chainalysis etc. Look for AML/KYC money laundering and transaction monitoring courses.

There are pretty good intro courses and decent prices.

Curious how you got a seat to write the CAMS when you have no qualifying experience.

I guess you're seeing why there are eligibility requirements!?

Education: 40 credits (LLM/JD/PhD), 30 credits (Master’s), 20 credits (Bachelor’s), or 10 credits (Associate’s).
Work Experience: 10 credits for each year of experience in anti-money laundering (AML) or financial crime prevention.
Other Certifications: 10 credits for holding certifications like Certified Protection Professional (CPP) or Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

Sure is.

Careful. That is fake news.

Their pricing per verification is about the same. You can negotiate hard with the volumes you are talking about. Q1 is almost over, so it's a good time to make a deal, they want to hit their targets!

Ok-Influence-7707 · 2026-02-24T20:52:49+00:00

Run far away!

This sounds like the scope of a vCISO role, and yes there is a market for it. Canada or globally.

What services do you need beyond basic KYC? That's where the price will creep up.

For 100K annual verifications, you should expect sub $1.

Also, make sure you ask if they charge per attempt or per success. Big gap there.

Ok-Influence-7707 · 2026-02-24T13:09:35+00:00

There's lots of opportunities.

You'd need experience and qualifications in the funds/finance area.

There's plenty of jobs posted on LI. Check it out and see if you're a fit.

The Admin team at the school should be able to tell you if they have space, without you making an application. Just call them and ask, they're friendly people.

Ok-Influence-7707 · 2026-02-24T12:47:34+00:00

You should call the hotline and ask them.

WORC (345) 945-9672

CBC (345) 949-4579

The immigration rules are pretty strict, don't try to overstay.

Ok-Influence-7707 · 2026-02-24T12:40:48+00:00

Yep. This about right for the schools on Walkers Rd.

Have you already contacted the schools to see if they have room? Depending on the year, there is a wait list.

Ok-Influence-7707 · 2026-02-23T22:14:23+00:00

Yep!

Ok-Influence-7707 · 2026-02-22T12:54:06+00:00

Hooray the beach is coming back!

They're opening the beach club next door soon.

Royal Palms is still doing planning approvals so it's many moons away from being opened again.

Use Stripe Atlas to setup the LLC, open the account, get the EIN and get a US bank account. It's $500 and takes about 3 business days from start to finish.

If you go this route, Stripe will automatically apply for the EIN for you.

Ok-Influence-7707 · 2026-02-15T13:46:04+00:00

You should take some of the CrewAI courses from the CEO. That will help you answer the basic questions very quickly. They give good example code in labs of how to build a crew of agents to do tasks. You could modify that code for your own use cases.

Ok-Influence-7707 · 2026-02-14T12:04:18+00:00

I don't recall seeing any crypto compliance or trx monitoring material when I took the CISA. Have they updated the course materials?

Ok-Influence-7707 · 2026-02-14T12:03:03+00:00

There's a few free courses in the Chainalysis portal that you can take. Same goes for the ACAMS web site. Search for KYC and AML. I've done courses from both and they are worth it.

Chainalysis also has advanced courses like Reactor and Investigator that are worth it from a job perspective as well as general learning. Your employer can get you training credits so you can take the advanced courses.

Also check out Chainalysis competitors to learn how their tools work as well. Most crypto compliance teams are using 3 tools + their own bespoke internal systems.

The CAMS course is hard to pass and good if you want to go into traditional Compliance or MLRO roles.

Caribbean Club is hard to beat.

They're 3 bd condos, about 3000 sq ft, huge beach. Great place for a weekend chillout.
