AML Risks in Nonbank Sectors

February 12 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST
Event details
The fine art, luxury goods, insurance, and real estate industries are drawing new attention from investors and collectors as well as from criminals and regulators. Criminals increasingly are using nonbank sectors to move illicit funds and sidestep traditional anti-money laundering (AML) controls. For financial services organizations that serve these clients, the risk exposure is real.
This webinar will examine AML vulnerabilities in nonbank sectors such as art dealerships, jewelry and precious metals, insurance, real estate, and high-value goods. These industries often fall outside the scope of traditional regulatory scrutiny, which creates blind spots that criminals exploit and requires compliance professionals to address evolving risk indicators, enhanced due diligence needs, and shifting regulatory expectations.
Join us for a walk-through of major case studies, red flag typologies, and enforcement takedowns that illustrate where risk is hiding in plain sight. The session will also highlight how prosecution trends can inform smarter risk assessments and what financial services organizations should do now to enhance their AML programs. Expect real-world insights, cross-sector lessons, and practical guidance designed to help you spot, assess, and act on risk.
After attending this session, you should be able to:
- Identify AML red flags and typologies in art, real estate, precious metals, and other nonbank sectors
- Explain how criminals exploit regulatory gaps to move illicit funds or evade sanctions
- Analyze criminal case outcomes to apply relevant lessons to AML programs
- Evaluate risk indicators when onboarding or monitoring customers in high-value sectors
- Apply investigative techniques and escalation protocols aligned with regulatory expectations
