Gk Paliwal

I am a Senior KYC/AML specialist with over nine years of hands-on experience in client onboarding, transaction monitoring, and sanctions screening. I focus on ensuring regulatory compliance while streamlining operational processes to reduce errors and improve throughput.

I have led teams of 30+ analysts supporting major fintech and banking clients across the U.S., UK, and EU, and I have direct experience with OFAC, UN, EU and local sanctions lists, PEP screening, and adverse media investigations. I implement enhanced due diligence for high-risk customers and maintain rigorous documentation and remediation workflows.

My leadership accomplishments include improving team performance through training and process improvements and reducing processing errors through operational streamlining. I routinely apply tools and analytics to improve quality assurance, fraud prevention, and transaction monitoring outcomes.

I am committed to continuous improvement in AML compliance, coaching operational teams, and applying data-driven approaches to detect financial crime while maintaining a customer-focused onboarding experience.
