What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in AML compliance that offers growth opportunities and collaboration with cross-functional teams to mitigate financial risks.

I am an analytical and detail-oriented AML/KYC analyst with over 6 years of experience in conducting thorough investigations and risk assessments to identify potential financial crimes and trade-based money laundering. I am proficient in utilizing AML/KYC software and tools such as World-Check, T-24, Vaulsys, Guard, Moody’s, and Passfort for customer onboarding. My expertise includes conducting CDD/EDD and regulatory compliance to ensure adherence to AML regulations.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to mitigate financial risks and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. I have a proven track record of developing and implementing internal controls to manage AML risks and ensuring that AML policies and procedures are effective and up-to-date with regulatory requirements.

I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Marketing and a Bachelor in Commerce, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in both business and financial regulations. I am also a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), demonstrating my commitment to staying updated with the latest compliance standards.
