What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in compliance where I can leverage my skills and contribute to organizational success while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a Compliance Analyst with extensive experience in developing and implementing compliance policies across various regions, including the UK, Singapore, and the Middle East. My journey in compliance began with a Bachelor of Technology in Computers, which laid the foundation for my analytical skills. Over the past decade, I have honed my expertise in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, ensuring adherence to financial regulations and promoting transparency within organizations.

My role at Wall Street Exchange has allowed me to monitor transactions for suspicious activities and manage compliance documentation effectively. I take pride in my ability to analyze transaction data, detect trends, and reduce instances of fraud. My previous experience at Standard Chartered Bank further solidified my skills in AML investigations and reporting, where I successfully screened payments across multiple jurisdictions and assisted in reporting to financial regulators. I am passionate about continuous learning and strive to enhance my knowledge to contribute to the success of my organization.
