Why Fintech Companies Should Use Video for Employee Training & Compliance

June 25, 2025

Let’s be honest. “Compliance training” doesn’t exactly scream fun.
But in fintech, it’s non-negotiable.

From AML to GDPR to PCI DSS, there’s no shortage of acronyms to master, policies to follow, and risks to avoid.

The stakes are high, and the details matter. But that doesn’t mean your training has to feel like watching paint dry.

So how do you make compliance training effective and engaging?
Video. Every. Single. Time.

Let’s break down why video is the secret weapon for training fintech teams and how it can transform your onboarding, upskilling, and compliance culture from "ugh" to "aha!"

1. Video Makes Complex Compliance Concepts Click

Fintech lives in the land of complexity. Whether it’s explaining KYC processes, secure data handling, or industry-specific regulations, static PDFs and 100-slide decks just don’t cut it anymore.Video helps simplify the complex. It turns dry legal text into real-world scenarios, visual metaphors, and walk-throughs that actually make sense.

Pro tip

Use explainer videos to walk through your most misunderstood policies. If you’ve had to explain it more than twice, it’s worth putting on video.

That’s the beauty of video. It allows you to break things down with clarity, give visual cues, and provide context that a paragraph of text just can’t deliver. When people see how something works, it finally clicks.

Turn your most complex compliance challenges into easy-to-understand explainer videos. Contact 3Motion to get started.

2. Training Videos Save Time (and Sanity)

Ever had to run the same compliance orientation 12 times during the same month? With video-based training, you can onboard new hires faster, deliver consistent messaging, and make updates without reprinting manuals or rescheduling live sessions.

Pro tip

Structure videos into short chapters so teams can jump to what’s most relevant to them. This is especially useful for hybrid or international teams.

The flexibility of on-demand content empowers employees to learn at their own pace without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. It also gives managers breathing room while ensuring everyone gets the same high-quality information.

3. People Actually Watch Video

Traditional training doesn’t hold attention. But people already watch video to learn everything from fixing Excel formulas to understanding tax policy. Training videos that use storytelling, graphics, and pacing keep engagement high and knowledge retention even higher.

Pro tip

Keep each video under 5 minutes and use real-world examples to drive the point home. The more relatable, the more effective.

Short, snappy, and relevant videos keep employees tuned in. And let’s face it, the more they engage with the content, the more likely they are to retain it. It’s the difference between zoning out and actually learning something.

4. Video Helps You Prove It (Because You’ll Need To)

In fintech, documentation and audit trails are everything. Video platforms allow you to track who watched what, when, and how well they understood it, which comes in handy when audits roll around or certifications are up for renewal.

Pro tip

Integrate your video training with an LMS or tracking system to monitor completions and quiz scores automatically.

Having that kind of visibility not only protects you. It also helps you identify who might need a little extra support. You’re not just covering your bases; you’re proactively improving team knowledge.
