Derrick Hemphill
@derrickhemphill
I investigate financial crime, write SARs, and strengthen AML compliance across banking and brokerage accounts.
What I'm looking for
I've supported AML investigations for H&R Block, Bank of America, Prosperity Bank, USAA, Capital One, and Intuit. I research suspicious activity, prepare SARs for FinCEN, and determine whether alerts require filing or no-issue disposition.
My work spans brokerage, retail banking, cryptocurrency, PEP, checking, savings, credit card, and CD accounts, including international wires, checks, deposits, and transfers. I perform KYC, EDD, transaction monitoring, quality reviews, CTR audits, and account-closure recommendations.
I use SQL, Python, Excel pivot tables, Salesforce, Actimize, QuickBase, and MOC systems to analyze activity and identify trends. I also train new hires, communicate with compliance and FIU teams, and apply BSA, USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC, and Treasury AML requirements.
