Financial crime analyst at Deutsche Bank investigating sanctions alerts and tracing suspicious cross-border payments.

India

Message

At Deutsche Bank, I investigate sanctions screening alerts against OFAC, EU, UN and HMT lists, escalating confirmed and unclear cases to Compliance and FIU with documented analysis.

I analyse ACH, RTP and cross-border payment data for unusual patterns, and review SWIFT MT103/MT202 and ISO 20022 messages to resolve complex investigations.

At Anand Rathi Group, I monitored financial transactions and client activity, validated transactions, and produced MIS reports. At ICICI Lombard, I investigated reconciliation breaks and introduced targeted verification checks after root cause audits.

I also built SQL monitoring rules for a PaySim fraud-detection project, comparing flagged TRANSFER and CASH_OUT transactions against known fraud labels.
