KYC/AML compliance analyst specializing in sanctions screening, risk analysis, and customer due diligence to prevent financial crime.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a KYC/AML Compliance Analyst with a demonstrated track record in compliance, risk analysis, and regulatory adherence, backed by 7 years of hands-on experience in financial crime prevention. Across roles at TCS, IBM, Capgemini, and Genpact, I’ve owned end-to-end KYC reviews—onboarding, periodic, and triggered reviews—applying risk parameters, performing EDD when warranted, and ensuring approvals align with banking regulations and guidelines.
I strengthen compliance outcomes through meticulous investigation and clear case documentation, including source of funds/wealth verification and ultimate beneficial owner determination. I’ve also contributed to process and monitoring improvements, such as a 20% reduction in KYC processing time, a 15% improvement in overall screening accuracy, and enhanced transaction monitoring with standardized case narratives. I’m committed to safeguarding financial systems by identifying negative news, unusual patterns, sanctions, and red flags—while maintaining consistently high-quality delivery recognized through BPS Star Performer awards.
