Amsterdam based. Full time (40 hours). 1 year contract initially and permanent contract thereafter. Option for up to 2 remote working days weekly.

We’re looking for a talented Transaction Monitoring Analyst to join our Amsterdam team in one of the UK’s fastest-growing FinTech scale-ups.

Our mission

3S Money is reinventing international business banking. Founded in 2018, our mission is to help growing businesses send, receive and exchange money in over 190 countries. With offices in five countries and over 150 employees across three different locations, you’ll be joining a high-energy, high-impact team that’s achieved profitability and has a wealth of opportunity ahead.

Our culture

At 3S Money, we believe in caring personally, staying curious and making an impact through collaboration not competition. Our culture is genuinely transparent with minimal hierarchy and a commitment to each employee’s professional growth.

Your contributions will actively matter, and you’ll be a respected part of the team from day one.

The role

• Help to prevent Money laundering, Terrorism financing, Fraud and Sanctions violations
• Monitor 3S Money’s AML/CTF & Fraud rules for any suspicious or unusual transactions
• Ensure any transaction alerts are reviewed and dealt with in a timely manner
• File Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) when required
• Conduct real time screening to ensure compliance with Sanctions obligations
• Ensure adherence to local and global compliance policies and procedures
• Stay up to date with AML related news and regulatory developments

Must-haves

You are an experienced professional working in the financial services sector, demonstrable knowledge of industry standards and best practice and the UK and EU AML regulatory frameworks. In addition:

• Bachelor’s Degree or enough experience that you don’t need one
• Proven track record of working in an AML/CTF investigations role
• Understanding of international ML/TF and Fraud typologies
• Willingness to learn Compliance processes and develop skills at a fast pace
• CAMS / ICA certification is a big plus
• Experience with data/trends analysis is a plus
• Experience in FinTech or start-up experience is strongly preferred.
• Great communication skills, articulating simply, but in detail the elements of onboarding due diligence assessment, including making recommendations on further course of action and being ready to explain your rationale (and if needed defend it) with internal stakeholders.
• Fluent English with another language as a bonus but not necessary.

Our Employer Commitments

In the ever-changing FCC landscape for the international markets we cover, we have a responsibility to our employees to provide constant up-skilling relevant to the role and your career with us. Aside from our usual on-boarding and training programmes, we have a list of ICA certifications pre-approved and ready to offer our new starters. Outside of this, across all our departments, we actively encourage our employees’ professional interests in attending conferences, networking events or webinars.

We are an equal opportunities employer and we view this an on-going commitment to our employees. We make recruiting decisions based on your experience, skills and personality. Our diverse team has been the foundations to our success in building more efficient products, making better decisions and establishing an all-inclusive place to work. Some of successes that we’ve had in our 4 short years have been:

• 72% of our Heads of Departments are female, and we hope this announcement reminds these leaders that we truly champion them and their career development.
• Gender balance 54 percent women
• 30 languages spoken across our 5 locations
• LGBTQIA+ inclusive

And where will your contribution take us….
