The world’s only Financial Crime & Compliance MBA (FCCMBA) is an innovative dual qualification that combines an MBA with the Financial Intelligence Specialist (FIS) designation – a professional credential for anti-money laundering (AML) and compliance professionals.

The FCCMBA is delivered through a dynamic partnership between Bangor University Business School, a UK-based, research-focused institution and ManchesterCF, a global leader in financial intelligence training. The program is offered via distance learning through Bangor University, incorporating ManchesterCF’s up-to-date, industry-led materials. This ensures the program balances academic rigor with practical, real-world relevance, meeting the demands of the ever-evolving financial crime and compliance landscape.

The FCCMBA is designed to enhance career prospects for compliance specialists, financial investigators, AML professionals and individuals seeking to enter this field.
