Result-driven financial crime investigator with a passion for technology.
What I'm looking for
I am a result-driven Anti-Money Laundering professional with extensive experience in financial crime investigations and compliance reporting. Currently, I work as a Financial Crime Investigator at Monzo Bank, where I investigate suspicious transaction alerts and draft internal Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). My ability to handle customer inquiries and business escalations has been instrumental in maintaining compliance and ensuring the integrity of financial transactions.
Previously, I served as a Foreign Exchange & Business Development Officer at AIOON Group in Nigeria, where I managed client relationships and oversaw significant FX settlements. My role involved monitoring currency fluctuations and facilitating seamless transactions, which honed my skills in financial analysis and client management. I have also led high-value corporate client acquisitions and global expansion efforts in my earlier position at Mitsun Group, demonstrating my capability to drive business growth.
