Course overview

Enhanced Customer Due Diligence (ECDD) is a key component of AML/CTF compliance in clubs and gaming venues. When standard due diligence isn't enough, ECDD gives your team the tools to identify higher-risk customers, assess their financial activity, and take appropriate action — all while maintaining professionalism and protecting the integrity of your venue.

This module walks you through what ECDD is, when it applies, and how to carry it out effectively in real venue situations.
