Nimesh Agarwal

I am a Financial Crime and Compliance professional with 5.5+ years of experience across fintech, payments, financial services, AML/KYC, cryptocurrency transaction monitoring, fraud risk, sanctions screening, and quality assurance. Currently, I work as an Assistant Manager in Transaction Quality Assurance at WNS Global Services, leading a 19-member team supporting financial crime operations.

My experience includes transaction monitoring and investigations, cryptocurrency and peer-to-peer transaction analysis, risk assessment, suspicious activity identification, sanctions and PEP screening, and financial crime risk controls. I specialize in Quality Assurance (QA), audit and control testing, root-cause analysis, remediation, and continuous process improvement. My contributions include improving investigation accuracy, strengthening control effectiveness, reducing operational and financial crime risks, and maintaining green quality performance across the last two quarters.

I have experience in stakeholder management, management reporting, performance dashboards, audit governance, and cross-functional collaboration. I have also worked with tools such as Chainalysis, CLEAR, and LexisNexis to support financial crime screening, investigations, research, and risk assessment workflows.

My key interests include AML/CFT, KYC, Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), fraud investigations, sanctions compliance, PEP screening, adverse media and negative news screening, transaction monitoring, cryptocurrency compliance, and financial crime risk management. I am interested in applying relevant US, Indian, and international compliance requirements while expanding my knowledge of regulatory frameworks and emerging digital asset risks.

I am looking for opportunities with fintech companies, cryptocurrency exchanges, banks, digital payment platforms, and global financial institutions. My target roles include Financial Crime Team Lead, AML/KYC Lead, Transaction Monitoring Specialist, Sanctions and Investigations Analyst, Compliance Operations Manager, and Quality Assurance Manager. I am particularly interested in roles combining investigations, team leadership, risk mitigation, data-driven decision-making, and continuous improvement in global compliance operations.
