Seasoned AML Investigator with expertise in financial crime investigations.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Investigator with extensive experience in conducting end-to-end investigations, from initial alert review to final case disposition. My expertise includes preparing Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and managing both system-generated alerts and manual case referrals. I am proficient in analyzing a wide range of transactions, including international wire transfers, ACH payments, and high-value cash activity, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies.
Throughout my career, I have consistently met production goals and exceeded quality standards. My role at Standard Chartered Bank has allowed me to maintain daily investigative workflows, perform in-depth research, and draft comprehensive SARs and non-SAR narratives. I leverage various investigative tools to support decision-making and provide training to new hires, fostering strong investigative practices within my team.
With a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, I possess a solid foundation in data analysis and process improvement. I am committed to upholding high standards of accuracy and compliance in all my investigations, and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to team success and continuous improvement.
