We spent years perfecting a service most people will never notice. Because when digital payments just work, businesses grow, customers stay, and no one stops to think about why.

Wherever our people work their magic, they're fast-moving, performance-obsessed, and driven by being better every day. Ideal. Because a role here isn't just another job; it's a career-defining opportunity to build the future of fintech.

As a Financial Crime Compliance Analyst II, you will be an integral part of our compliance framework, responsible for protecting the firm from financial crime risks. In this role, you will move beyond initial alert triage to conduct comprehensive investigations into complex financial activities. You will apply your developing expertise in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF), and Sanctions to analyze transaction patterns, conduct enhanced due diligence, and make well-reasoned recommendations. This position is ideal for a compliance professional looking to deepen their investigative skills and take on greater analytical responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

Transaction Monitoring:

Conduct comprehensive analysis of complex transaction monitoring alerts to identify potentially suspicious activity, applying a strong knowledge of money laundering red flags and AML risk typologies.

Enhanced Due diligence (EDD):

Perform and document enhanced due diligence on new and existing high-risk customers. Thoroughly investigate customers against sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and adverse media, providing a clear risk assessment.

Case Disposition and Reporting:

Manage an assigned caseload from initial detection to resolution. Document investigative findings with clarity and precision, articulating a rationale for escalating cases for potential Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filing or closing cases with no suspicious activity.

Risk Identification:

Proactively identify and analyze emerging financial crime typologies and trends, contributing to the enhancement of the team's detection scenarios and control framework.

What we are looking for:

Strong analytical, investigative, and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex information clearly and concisely. Proven ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and make sound judgments under pressure.
