Breno Moreira
@brenomoreira
I’m an AML & compliance specialist who streamlines KYC/KYB onboarding, sanctions screening, and fraud prevention under pressure.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I’m a motivated AML & compliance professional with 10+ years of combined experience in Law and Compliance, including 3+ years specialising in KYC/AML operations at leading financial institutions. I’m ACAMS-certified (CKYCA) and recognized for analytical precision, cross-border collaboration, and performance under pressure.
I’ve driven onboarding and ongoing review workflows across LATAM and EMEA—handling KYC/KYB screening, sanctions/PEP/adverse news escalations, and fraud prevention using World-Check One, biometric fraud analysis, and maker-checker quality control. Alongside my compliance work, I bring a strong legal foundation from leading cross-border matters and now I’m expanding expertise in cryptocurrency compliance.
