John Mitchel is the founder of BANKIS, a long-standing provider of novelty financial documents used in training, education, compliance simulations and AML awareness. His work focuses on helping legal, financial and onboarding teams understand how simulated bank statements are used to teach document red-flag detection without exposing real customer data. John has contributed insights to AML educators, conveyancing fraud trainers, and digital-risk researchers, and has developed educational material explaining how fake financial documents appear in real-world fraud scenarios. He is regularly consulted on document-formatting behaviours, template inconsistencies, and the evolution of financial forgery patterns relevant to compliance training.
