Aissatou Sarr

I’m a Senior AML & Financial Crime Analyst with over 5 years of specialist experience across Banking, Money Transfer, Fintech, and Crypto environments. I support compliance end-to-end with a strong focus on transaction monitoring, investigations, and regulatory reporting.

In my current role as a Senior Anti-Money Laundering Analyst, I perform second-level AML investigations on alerts generated by automated monitoring systems, drafting and escalating complex cases through internal channels. I handle alert typologies including SARs, Authority Requests, GFP alerts, internal referrals, real-time transaction alerts, post-transaction monitoring alerts, fraud alerts, and other financial crime indicators. I also conduct enhanced due diligence by reassessing KYC documentation, customer profiles, source of funds, and risk indicators, including crypto/blockchain-related transactional analysis.

I produce investigation reports in English that summarize findings, risk assessments, and supporting evidence in line with AML regulatory requirements and internal policies. I draft and escalate Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for the Italian financial intelligence unit (FIU) and collaborate with international teams to strengthen consistent financial crime risk management across multiple markets.

Previously, I worked as an Anti-Money Laundering Specialist at Ria Money Transfer in Dakar, supporting real-time client transaction analysis, client risk profiling, alert investigations, sanctions screening, and assessments related to terrorist financing. I also bring compliance growth through training, policy updates, and regulatory awareness, and I’m currently strengthening my credentials with ACAMS (CAMS) and AML Base LLC certifications.
