This document contains ready-to-use prompt templates for financial compliance roles, enhanced with French regulatory requirements and European industry best practices. These templates can be used with any LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) regardless of programming language or technical setup.

🦀 Rust Implementation Example

Here's a practical example of implementing these templates in Rust, using the Fintech Prompt Templates repository:

use fintech_prompts::templates::{KycTemplate, AmlTemplate};
use fintech_prompts::types::{CustomerType, FocusArea};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Initialize KYC template
    let kyc = KycTemplate::new(
        CustomerType::Individual,
        FocusArea::IdentityVerification,
    );
    
    // Generate prompt with French regulatory context
    let prompt = kyc.generate_prompt()?;
    
    // Use with your preferred LLM
    let llm_response = send_to_llm(prompt).await?;
    
    // Process structured response
    let analysis = kyc.parse_response(&llm_response)?;
    
    println!("Risk Level: {}", analysis.risk_level);
    println!("Recommendations: {}", analysis.recommendations);
    
    Ok(())
}

The repository provides type-safe implementations of all templates, with built-in validation for French regulatory requirements and GDPR compliance checks.
