Sopra Steria is further investing in its Financial Services expertise with a AML & KYC Development Program, developed in collaboration with Febelfin Academy. The program equips experienced consultants with deeper regulatory knowledge, practical expertise and the skills to share their knowledge with colleagues and clients.
The regulatory landscape for financial institutions continues to evolve, making strong Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) expertise increasingly important. To further strengthen these capabilities, Sopra Steria has launched a dedicated development program for consultants with experience in AML, KYC, fraud and compliance.
The program has been developed together with Febelfin Academy, the reference learning partner for the Belgian financial sector. It combines regulatory expertise with practical application and gives participants the opportunity to learn from experienced industry professionals, exchange best practices and apply their knowledge through practical cases.
From regulatory knowledge to practical expertise
The learning journey takes participants through the different dimensions of AML and KYC. It covers the Global Compliance Framework, the fundamentals of the legal framework and recent regulatory developments, before moving on to the practical application of AML principles.
A dedicated Train-the-Trainer component is also part of the program. This enables participants not only to strengthen their own expertise, but also to share their knowledge with colleagues and contribute to a broader community of AML & KYC specialists within Sopra Steria.
Certified by Febelfin
Upon completion of the program, participants will have strengthened their AML & KYC expertise, increased their confidence in applying regulatory knowledge and gained practical insights that can be used in client environments. They will also be better equipped to support and coach colleagues.
Participants completing the program will be certified by Febelfin, underlining the program's focus on developing high-quality expertise relevant to the financial sector.
Ann Vanlommel, CEO Febelfin Academy: “The Certified KYC Expert Programme we are launching together with Sopra Steria goes far beyond traditional knowledge transfer. It combines a strong theoretical foundation with a clear focus on the practical application of KYC principles in day-to-day professional environments. Participants will not only acquire the necessary expertise but will also learn how to translate that knowledge into real-life cases and operational challenges.
An additional strength of the programme is its train-the-trainer component. By developing internal knowledge champions, we create a sustainable model that enables expertise to be shared, scaled and embedded throughout the organisation. In this way, we foster long-term capability building and enhance the quality and impact of KYC knowledge across all levels. We look forward to successfully rolling out this programme together.”
With this initiative, Sopra Steria continues to invest in building strong, future-ready AML & KYC capabilities for the financial services sector.
