Carl Campbell

Carl Campbell, a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS – USA) and Financial Crime Consultant with over 7 years of experience advising firms in the Foreign Exchange and Global Banking sectors. My expertise lies in helping financial institutions, exchange houses, and fintech start-ups strengthen their AML frameworks, compliance infrastructures, due diligence processes, and KYC procedures.

Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with organisations at every stage of their journey — from fast-scaling fintechs seeking regulatory authorisation, to established banks looking to refine and innovate their compliance systems. I bring a practical, regulatory-first approach to safeguarding firms against financial crime while enabling sustainable business growth.

Professional Philosophy

I believe that effective compliance is more than just a regulatory requirement — it’s a competitive advantage. A robust AML and financial crime framework builds trust with clients, partners, and regulators while enabling organisations to innovate with confidence.

Staying ahead of the curve, I actively monitor emerging risks, regulatory updates, and technical standards across global markets. This ensures that the strategies and systems I design are not only compliant today but also resilient for the future.
