As a Sanctions Screening Analyst, I was part of a specialist team responsible for clearing over 113,000 screening alerts related to potential financial crime matches for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media. I identified over 200 PEPs and conducted PEP assessments, utilizing in-house systems and external research tools such as Dow Jones, Finscan, and BaNCS to negate alerts.

I conducted thorough investigations and risk assessments, identifying and reporting suspicious transactions. I prepared and submitted SARs in compliance with regulatory standards, enhancing the organization's ability to mitigate financial crime risks.

I completed EDD, Source of Wealth, and Source of Funds assessments, meeting reporting obligations in a timely manner. I was experienced with external research tools such as Equifax, Dow Jones, and Lexis Nexis Bridger, along with in-house systems.

I was part of a large team performing high-risk remediation for over 8,000 corporate banking customers, carrying out PEP checks, Source of Wealth, Source of Funds, and transactional analysis reviews. I identified risks and completed suspicious activity reports (SARs), and performed documentation analysis of KYC information to validate client details and assess risks.

I performed end-to-end remediation on complex cases for large corporate customers, business banking, and mid-level enterprises, playing a key role in meeting the deadline for remediating over 12,000 high-risk cases. I successfully remediated a wide variety of entity types and improved processes around KYC/AML requirements by liaising with different stakeholders.
