Welcome to The Institute
The Institute of Money Laundering Prevention Officers
Founded in 2001, The Institute is a non for profit organisation that represents the interests of anti-money laundering and financial crime prevention professionals from any business sector that deals with financial crime risk management. Current members come a variety of sectors such as banks, insurance companies, fund managers and building societies but also a wide range of other organisations such as gaming companies, gambling accountancy firms, law firms, foreign exchange, payments and money service businesses, estate agencies and many more.
We welcome professionals at any stage in their career development but we are particularly keen to hear from Nominated Officers, Deputy MLROs, MLROs, Heads of Compliance, Chief Risk Officers to provide them with a safe space and community to support them in role.
While providing invaluable support for those in senior roles it is also important for us to develop the next generation of financial crime prevention professionals. As such we actively encourage junior members to join to further their career progression and professional development.
