Angel Mendieta
@angelmendieta
I am a compliance investigator with AML expertise and strong customer service and communication skills.
What I'm looking for
I currently serve as a Compliance Squad Investigator at Remitly, conducting in-depth investigations into suspicious activity, monitoring accounts for AML risks, and working cross-functionally to implement policies that protect financial integrity. Previously I worked as a Risk Investigator and in multiple customer-facing roles where I honed transaction analysis, fraud detection, and escalation skills.
I bring a strong background in customer service, mentoring and account management from roles at Capital One and SITEL, plus targeted coursework in language usage and Google Slides. I am adaptable, a fast learner, fluent in Spanish (C2) and advanced in English (C1), and committed to driving compliance and excellent customer outcomes.
