KYC Operations Team Lead at Wise, guiding KYC analysts and improving quality assurance and operational processes.

Malaysia
Message

At Wise, I progressed from Due Diligence agent to KYC Operations Team Lead, working across customer and business verification, risk assessment, and AML/CFT compliance. As a Due Diligence agent, I assessed over 400 clients monthly and prepared Suspicious Activity Reports when I detected unusual activity.

As Team Lead, I supported KYC Analysts through coaching and development plans, while improving operational processes and quality assurance. Earlier, I handled customer support at Wise and content moderation at ByteDance.
