Motivated compliance professional with expertise in financial crime prevention.
What I'm looking for
I am a motivated compliance professional with strong expertise in financial crime prevention, due diligence, and customer service. I have a proven ability to manage high-risk cases, meet stringent regulatory standards, and support cross-functional teams. My adaptability and excellent problem-solving, communication, and time-management skills have been key to my success in the compliance field.
In my recent role as a Financial Crime Analyst at Santander U.K., I conducted comprehensive due diligence for high-risk clients, ensuring regulatory compliance and performing KYC checks. My analytical skills allowed me to effectively analyze transactions and verify sources of funds to mitigate financial crime risks. I also earned ICA certifications in AML, PEPs, EDD, and Counter-Terrorist Financing, which further solidified my expertise in this area.
Prior to this, I worked as a CDD Analyst at KPMG U.K., where I managed KYC/CDD services for business clients, enhancing client trust and ensuring compliance. My experience as a Customer Service Representative at Yorkshire Building Society equipped me with the skills to resolve complex cases and maintain high levels of client satisfaction. I am now seeking to further grow within the compliance and legal fields.
