@patriciamoreira
Compliance professional specializing in transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and AML/KYC.
What I'm looking for
I am a compliance professional with strong experience in sanctions and embargoes, currently working in transaction monitoring and sanctions screening at a major bank. I have a background in accounting and hands-on operational experience in payments, cash processing, and credit control.
At BNP Paribas I handle transaction monitoring alerts, validate KYC elements, obtain and analyse documentation and open-source information, and escalate hits with clear rationale. I have established communication channels with local sites to obtain required documentation and ensure compliance with group policies and procedures.
Previously I processed payments following SWIFT and payment guidelines, handled stopped payments, and ensured accurate and timely execution of payment instructions. I also supported internal business units with financial analysis and customer databases while working in financial analyst and credit control roles.
I am enthusiastic about deepening my expertise in financial crime prevention and AML frameworks, and I bring attention to detail, analytical problem-solving, and strong teamwork to ensure compliant and efficient operations.
