RegEd AML Training Alternative
A RegEd AML training alternative for producers and agency teams: what the shared platform covers, what it leaves out, and what five-minute lessons add.
If you are looking for a RegEd AML training alternative, start with a simple question: what do you need the training to do? If you need to show carriers that you finished required training, RegEd's program does that job and an app will not replace it. If you need to know what to do when a customer's payment looks wrong, you need practice as well. InsureSkills gives you that practice in five-minute lessons.
What RegEd AML training is and who it is for
RegEd is a company that provides compliance software and education. Its anti-money-laundering program is described on its own site as a way for producers to meet AML training requirements and then share the results with all participating carriers.
From that page, the main points are:
- Training is delivered on one platform to insurance and securities professionals across an organisation.
- Administrators get reporting to monitor requirements and see who has completed them.
- The experience is meant to satisfy AML requirements with little disruption to a producer's work.
- Automatic reminder emails help producers stay on track.
- A producer registers, completes the required training, and then completes any carrier-specific courses assigned to them. When carrier-specific courses are finished, RegEd notifies the affiliated carriers and distributors.
Picture an independent producer who writes business for several carriers. Without a shared program, each carrier could ask for its own course and its own proof. With a shared platform, the producer does the common training once and the proof travels to the carriers. That saves real hours. It also helps carriers, which can see completion without chasing each producer.
RegEd also runs wider compliance and continuing education products, so some agencies already have a login. If your agency principal or carrier has told you to use it, use it. Ask your compliance contact which courses apply to you, because requirements differ by country, by state and by employer.
What it does not do for the day-to-day
A platform built around requirements, reporting and reminders is good at one thing: making sure the right people finish the right course and that someone can prove it. It is not built to make you faster at the moment of doubt.
Here is a day-to-day moment. A customer is renewing a policy. The premium has always been paid from one bank account. This time a stranger calls, says they are the customer's friend, and offers to pay a large amount by transfer from a company account. What do you ask? What do you write? Who do you tell, and what do you not say to the caller?
A compliance course taken once, to satisfy a requirement, may cover this in one slide. Months later, the slide is gone. The things that help in the moment are:
- Short and frequent practice. One decision at a time, repeated.
- Examples that match your seat. A broker assistant, a claims handler and an onboarding clerk meet suspicion in different ways.
- A clear next step. The most common failure is not missing the sign. It is seeing it and doing nothing because you are not sure who should hear about it.
- Plain language. Many people in insurance teams work in English as a second language, and long, formal text slows them down.
What InsureSkills does instead
InsureSkills teaches the habit with five-minute lessons, each built on one customer, claim or application situation. It is made for insurance staff of every function. No legal background is needed.
The track that matches this topic is "Recognising Suspicion and Acting on It". Its lessons cover:
- Knowledge, suspicion and reasonable grounds, explained.
- Why reporting is a personal duty and not someone else's job.
- The cost of ignoring a concern.
- Acting quickly without acting rashly.
- Common excuses for not reporting, and why they fail.
Take the excuse "It is probably nothing." In a lesson, you see it in a real moment: a customer who asks you to split a payment into several smaller ones, and a colleague who says it is nothing. You practise the better thought, which is that you do not have to prove a crime. You only have to describe what you saw, in writing, to the person your employer has named for this. The rules that define what counts as suspicion differ by place, so your own compliance team has the final word. For the full picture of what to look for, read the guide to money laundering through insurance and its red flags.
InsureSkills does not hold a carrier's records and does not replace a course your carrier requires. It is the practice that makes the required course easier to apply.

Who should pick which
Use RegEd when a carrier or distributor assigns you its courses. The shared record is the reason to use it, and nothing here asks you to skip it.
Use InsureSkills when you are the one at the desk and you want to feel ready. It fits a producer between renewals, an agency principal who wants every assistant to know the first three steps, and a service team that takes calls from strangers all day.
Use both when you want the record and the skill. A good agency does not treat the annual course as the finish line. It treats it as the minimum and adds short practice on top. If you are comparing several providers at once, the guide to the best AML training for insurance agents sets out what to look for.
Questions people ask
Can I use InsureSkills instead of my carriers' required course?
No. Your carriers and your employer decide which training is required. InsureSkills is extra practice and does not send completion notices to anyone.
What is the first thing to do when I suspect something?
Follow your employer's procedure. In most places that means writing down what you saw and telling your compliance contact at once. Do not tell the customer, and do not investigate on your own.
Where do I go after this track?
The other tracks cover payments, identity checks, sanctions, fraud and more. Start with the one that matches the part of the job you find hardest.
Do I need a legal background?
No. Each term is explained in one sentence, and the lessons avoid legal language.
