What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles in banking focused on retail branch banking, clearing/CMS, FOREX, and compliance where I can lead operations, improve processes, and reduce risk.

I am a results-oriented banking professional with eight years of experience across retail branch banking, clearing, CMS activities, FOREX, and compliance. I have worked with banks and a CA firm, serving SMEs, manufacturing and trading clients, trusts, and individual clients.

My strengths include managing high-volume clearing operations (handling up to 19,000 cheques daily), CMS product operations, bulk current account KYC processes, and executing outward remittances and bank guarantees with regulatory compliance.

I have led teams and vendor relationships, conducted process audits and quality checks, implemented process improvements, and provided customised solutions for corporate clients. I have experience coordinating with RBI, other banks, and government agencies on clearing and fraud matters.

Notable recognitions include awards and certificates for fraud detection, reduction in non-CTS cheques, elimination of RBI return memos, and completion of NISM & NSDL certifications. I continuously pursue professional development in banking, finance, IT, and regulatory domains.
