What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on AML/fraud detection and transaction monitoring where I can improve controls, reduce losses, and advance compliance capabilities within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a results-driven Financial Crime Analyst with proven experience in fraud prevention, AML compliance, and risk management, maintaining fraud losses below 0.2% of operating income through proactive controls and monitoring.

I conduct transaction monitoring using KS-Scan, Clari-5, Power Card, and core banking systems, perform CDD/EDD assessments, prepare STRs, and ensure SLA compliance with swift investigations and clear stakeholder liaison.

I have a strong background in collections and recovery, improving repayment rates and reducing disputes, and I continuously refine monitoring models and controls to reduce false positives and emerging fraud risks.
