I conduct KYC and AML reviews that strengthen compliant client onboarding.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
At Finyard, I conduct CDD and EDD reviews for CFD and crypto-asset clients, verify source of funds and risk profiles, and monitor transaction activity to support financial crime prevention. My alert investigations and case referrals improved suspicious activity detection turnaround by approximately 20%.
Previously at Standard Chartered Bank, I completed onboarding and compliance reviews for corporate and financial institution clients, including complex ownership structures, UBO identification, and sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening. I focus on accurate, audit-ready records, resolving documentation gaps, and delivering compliant client outcomes.
