Upcoming Atlanta Check Cashing Class

The Department offers a check cashing class that benefits first-time and experienced check cashers. These

classes generally last about an hour. There is no cost for the class and it is a great way to learn about Georgia

law, Department regulations, the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) requirements.

During examinations, those who have attended the class have stated that the knowledge and information they

gained helped prevent violations and avoid the imposition of fines.

As a further benefit, the Department provides a certificate of attendance that licensees may use as evidence of

training received on BSA and Anti-Money Laundering.

The classes are limited to a maximum of seven attendees, so you must make an advance reservation by calling

770-986-1652 or emailing [email protected]. Reserve your seat now! We look forward to seeing you.
