Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Training Program
The U.S. Treasury Department recently adopted anti-money laundering rules & regulations for the banking and insurance industry. If you sell insurance products with an investment component or products that accumulate cash, you must be trained to recognize possible money laundering activities.
NAIFA and LIMRA International have partnered to offer NAIFA members free access to an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Training Program that satisfies the rules & regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The AML program is available on the LIMRA website and has been widely endorsed by many of the life insurance carriers that use independent producers.

The web-based training module was developed by LIMRA in conjunction with insurance compliance professionals. It is available on demand and requires 30 to 45 minutes to complete. The registration page allows you to designate your BGA and carrier associations, so that your course results can be reported to your designated insurance carriers. You may be offered additional carrier-specific courses based upon your registration information.
