Wait… What Does That Mean?
A Friendly Guide to the Anqa Compliance Glossary
Let’s be honest—regulatory language can be a lot.
Whether you’re an intern learning the ropes, a student stepping into your first compliance course, or just someone trying to make sense of all the acronyms in a meeting, the world of FATF, TBML, CFT, KYT, DNFBPs (…see?) can feel like another language.
So we built a tool to help with that.
📘 Anqa’s Compliance Glossary is your no-stress, plain-English guide to the terms that get thrown around in regulatory, fintech, and financial inclusion circles. It’s designed to be:
✅ Super searchable
✅ Mobile-friendly (because sometimes you’re Googling terms in a meeting)
✅ Free and open to everyone—forever
Who’s it for?
Interns and early-career professionals trying to keep up with jargon
Students curious about how compliance actually works in practice
Small teams in financial services who need clarity without digging through 100-page PDFs
Non-compliance folks who just want to understand what the compliance team is talking about
Why we made it
At Anqa Compliance, we spend a lot of time thinking about access—not just to tools, but to understanding. So many small institutions, NGOs, microfinance teams, and startups are working hard to meet compliance expectations—but they’re often learning as they go.
The Glossary is our way of saying:
“Hey, we’ve got your back.”
No pop-ups. No forms. Just definitions that make sense.
Use it. Bookmark it. Share it.
We’re keeping it updated, and we’ll be adding more region-specific and mobile-first compliance terms as we go. If there’s a term you’d like us to add or clarify—send us a note.
👀 And if you’re ever reading something and think,
“Wait… what does that mean?”
Now you know where to go:
