The work

Banks are continuously being scrutinized for abuse of the financial system and providing services without deterring clients from using those products/services for criminal activities.

• Processes The KYC files consist of triggered transactions that pose a risk. If a risk is identified, an event driven review must take place in which further ODD measure must be taken. Individuals will need to be able to complete a risk assessment based on all collected information and approved documents.

• Data You will be searching public sources and subscription databases to prepare a pack of information on these parties, including information on an entity’s structure, beneficial ownership, control, public financial information, negative news, political exposure, and sanctions issues. From this data you will perform a risk assessment on the client profile to classify all red flags and high-risk indicators while ensuring all are effectively described.

With all our roles, there is some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders, and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.
