Benefits
CipherTrace for Financial Institutions
CipherTrace for Financial Institutions (CTFI) helps you develop a prudent and risk-based approach to your interactions with the virtual currency economy.
This training is separated into two categories: CTFI Tier I and Tier II.
Tier I is a one-day training designed to give banks the necessary knowledge to identify, assess and mitigate cryptocurrency risk exposure. Tier II is meant to build on the knowledge gained in Tier I to further your understanding of regulations and teach you best practices for onboarding and monitoring crypto entities so that your institution can develop the best risk-based approach for its risk appetite. Tier I & II can be combined for two full-day training sessions.
