@ayissagreen
I strengthen KYC, AML, and customer-risk controls across wealth management and banking.
What I'm looking for
At Wells Fargo, I perform end-to-end AML and KYC reviews for Wealth Management, assessing customer profiles, ownership structures, controls, and regulatory adherence. I document risk decisions, manage EDD triggers, and partner across Compliance, Risk, and business teams to strengthen customer-risk controls.
Previously at USAA and Bank of America, I led risk-based reviews, complex financial-crime investigations, adverse-media and sanctions research, and AML quality assurance. I've drafted Suspicious Activity Reports for FinCEN and applied BSA, USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC, and global AML/CTF requirements to high-risk customer matters.
Across 14+ years in financial services, I've developed testing methodologies, improved workflows, supported KYC technology enhancements, and maintained a 99.7% quality average against a 98.75% benchmark.
