  • Enhanced customer due diligence;
  • Transaction monitoring and suspicious matter reporting / suspicious activity reporting (SMR/SAR)

You have:

• Experience working in operational teams, being able to follow documented procedures and instructions
• Some exposure to AML/CTF or broader financial crime operational environments
• You have an analytical and investigative mind, and can review and absorb data from different sources to form judgements and sound conclusions
• Experience writing out investigative reasonings; by making file notes, preparing brief investigative reports and making regulatory filings (e.g. Suspicious Matter Reports / Suspicious Transaction Reports)

Even better:

• A professional membership with ACAMS, an equivalent industry body or other tertiary qualifications in the area of financial crime, fraud risk management or compliance
