Hong Kong Monetary Authority
Student Ambassador Programme (AMLD)
Recruitment of Student Ambassadors
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) supervises authorized institutions’ (AIs) risk management systems for combating money laundering and terrorism financing, which follow international standards and practices, taking account of the risks to which the banking sector and individual AIs are exposed.
The Student Ambassador Programme for the AML & Financial Crime Risk Division (AMLD) recruits passionate university students to assist in a range of tasks, including:
- participating in publicity campaigns to promote anti-fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) awareness among the general public and targeted groups;
- monitoring the latest fraud trends and typologies in Hong Kong and other jurisdictions;
- conducting research into international standards and best practices in AML and anti-fraud frameworks, including those related to virtual assets; and
- providing support across various areas within AMLD, including logistical arrangements for industry engagements and seminars.
A training programme will be conducted to familiarise student ambassadors with the details of AMLD and other aspects of the work of the HKMA.
Through active participation in the work of AMLD and training, student ambassadors are expected to gain a deeper understanding of the HKMA’s functions and AML and anti-fraud initiatives. The programme also offers opportunities for the development of event planning, interpersonal and leadership skills.
Involvement of the Student Ambassadors
The student ambassadors will participate in this programme on a part-time basis and are expected to work on weekdays or weekends as needed. Their working schedule will be communicated in advance, taking into account operational requirements and the timing of campaigns and events. The student ambassadors are encouraged to work, on average, at least two half-day shifts or one whole-day shift per month.
