South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Payments Analyst and Senior Banking Specialist with 7+ years' experience across high-volume payment environments, corporate banking, fraud prevention, and PSP integrations. I combine hands-on technical capability with operational oversight to manage end-to-end payment lifecycles and ensure compliance with AML, FICA, and KYC regulations.
Throughout my career I have led PSP integrations, performed API testing and sandbox-to-live operations, and driven reconciliation accuracy and acceptance-rate optimisation. In Senior Analyst and 2IC roles I have produced operational and fraud reports, mentored junior analysts, and acted as deputy lead to maintain operational continuity.
I seek to continue improving payment flows, settlement timeliness, and fraud prevention through process improvement, stakeholder collaboration, and scalable operational controls that deliver secure and efficient payments operations.
