Detail-oriented KYC/AML Analyst with 5+ years of experience.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
As a detail-driven and proactive KYC/AML Analyst, I bring over 5 years of experience in conducting due diligence and risk assessments across various jurisdictions, including the UK, EU, and globally. My expertise lies in leading onboarding processes, investigating complex ownership structures, and escalating suspicious activities within regulated environments. I thrive in fast-paced, high-growth fintech settings that demand agility, accuracy, and operational excellence.
Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to enhance compliance and streamline processes. My role at Santander Bank involved leading first-line KYC onboarding and due diligence for individual and corporate clients, where I verified documentation and conducted PEP, sanctions, and adverse media screening. I have also worked at HSBC, monitoring client transactions and preparing SARs while ensuring strict data accuracy. My commitment to regulatory compliance and risk assessment has been a cornerstone of my professional journey.
