What I'm looking for
I am an experienced AML/KYC Analyst with over 5 years of expertise in financial crime investigations, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and regulatory compliance. My proficiency in risk assessment, fraud detection, and due diligence processes has enabled me to effectively identify suspicious activities and mitigate financial risks. I have a strong command of compliance tools such as Lexis Nexis, World Check, Fircosoft, and RDC, which I utilize to ensure adherence to regulatory standards.
In my most recent role as a Senior Analyst at Deutsche India Private Limited, I led a 7-member team, ensuring 100% compliance with standards and process efficiency. My efforts in investigating high-risk cases and suggesting system enhancements have been recognized by onshore teams for their exceptional quality and timely escalations. I have also excelled in previous positions at WNS Global Solutions and Accenture, where I monitored transactions and conducted thorough investigations to prevent financial crimes.
My commitment to excellence is reflected in my achievements, including being awarded Best Performer and recognized in the Quality Hall of Fame for maintaining high accuracy in compliance reviews. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to a dynamic team focused on financial integrity and compliance.
