What I'm looking for

I seek a role that offers opportunities for professional growth and a collaborative work environment focused on compliance and financial integrity.

I am a highly skilled professional with over 5 years of experience in Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) roles within FCA regulated financial service firms. My expertise lies in identifying, investigating, and mitigating financial crime, ensuring compliance with industry standards and internal policies.

Currently, I serve as a CDD/EDD Analyst at Allica Bank, where I manage the onboarding process for various accounts and conduct thorough investigations to ensure compliance. My role involves liaising with stakeholders and clients to rectify data gaps and performing quality assurance on colleague's cases. My previous experience includes working with Santander Bank and Barclays Bank, where I honed my skills in KYC processes and client service management.
