What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth in compliance and risk management.

I am an experienced KYC analyst with a strong background in anti-money laundering (AML) compliance and investigations. Over the past three years at Starling Bank, I have honed my skills in conducting thorough investigations into high-risk customers and transactions, ensuring that all activities comply with internal AML policies and relevant regulations. My ability to identify anomalies and unusual transactional behavior has allowed me to make informed, risk-based decisions that protect the integrity of the financial system.

Prior to my role at Starling Bank, I worked as a KYC Analyst at Lloyds Bank, where I was responsible for completing initial investigations for clients and creating accurate KYC profiles. My attention to detail and effective questioning skills enabled me to analyze transactional information and identify potential risks and trends. I am self-motivated and highly organized, with a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of compliance and regulatory adherence in all my work.
