What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in fraud assessment and compliance, within a supportive team that values innovation and growth.

I am a Validation Specialist with a strong background in fraud assessment and investigation. Currently, I work at Marquis Finance, where I meticulously scrutinize documentation and perform KYC validation to ensure compliance and mitigate risks. My passion for detail and customer service drives me to build solid relationships with sales teams and clients alike.

Throughout my career, I have developed a mature and responsible approach to my work, which has been recognized through accolades such as the SA Taxi Employee of the Year award. My experience spans various roles, including Fraud Assessor and KYC Administrator, where I have honed my skills in document validation, customer data governance, and compliance with FICA legislation.

I am eager to continue learning and growing in my field, leveraging my problem-solving abilities and strong communication skills to contribute to a dynamic team. I thrive in environments that challenge me and allow me to innovate while maintaining a high standard of accuracy and efficiency.
