Sowndarya Kasinathan

I’m an Analytical, detail-oriented AML & KYC professional focused on customer onboarding quality, compliance checks, and risk identification. I’m comfortable working through flagged exceptions, performing due diligence, and ensuring adherence to internal KYC policies and regulatory standards.

In my Banking Operations Associate role at Accenture, I executed customer identification procedures by reviewing onboarding information, raising RFIs for gaps, and validating KYC documentation. I managed KYC onboarding for sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies—verifying UBO details, aligning SIC codes with company activity, performing CRA checks, and completing plausibility checks around turnover and operating location. I also reviewed company reports and conducted adverse media checks to assess risk exposure, while ensuring SLA adherence and timely reporting.

At Teleperformance, I handled end-to-end Customer Due Diligence and account opening for Lloyds Bank using PEGA workflows. I performed IDV, plausibility checks, industry risk assessment, adverse media screening, Companies House verification, and signature validation, while reviewing applications to resolve discrepancies through clarifications and additional proof submissions. I also supported Transaction Monitoring using ACTIMIZE—analyzing high-risk customer transactions, identifying AML red flags, investigating suspicious activity, and escalating cases by raising SARs; plus I contributed to periodic reviews by reassessing risk profiles and monitoring ongoing behavior.

I’ve built an operational mindset around accuracy and compliance, including ad-hoc SMD processes using KOFAX and ICE to protect data integrity. I’m proud of being recognized with a “Star of the Business” award for consistent top quality scores, and I’m now seeking to contribute my expertise as a KYC Analyst in a leading financial institution.
