What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my AML expertise while contributing to a company's compliance efforts and fostering a culture of integrity.

I am an experienced AML Officer with a strong focus on preventing the illegal acquisition and laundering of funds. My background in regulatory compliance, risk assessment, and financial crime investigations has equipped me with the skills necessary to identify and mitigate AML-related risks effectively. I have a proven track record of providing strategic advice and guidance to organizations looking to enhance their AML programs.

Throughout my career, I have honed my expertise in AML regulations, transaction monitoring, and investigative techniques. At Bank Alfalah Limited, I perform sanction screening and alert investigations, ensuring that customers are filtered through screening solutions and that any negative individuals or entities are reported promptly. My previous role at Telenor Microfinance Bank involved analyzing alerts against various sanctions and providing expert judgment on match validity, showcasing my attention to detail and commitment to compliance.
