At Republic Bank (Ghana) PLC, I develop and maintain the Compliance Universe, reviewing Central Bank directives and mapping regulatory obligations to internal controls.

I conduct AML/CFT transaction screening via SWIFT, review 30+ daily alerts, and escalate confirmed sanctions risks. I also prepare Suspicious Transaction Reports and review KYC/CDD documentation for high-risk accounts.

Previously, as a Retail Banking Assistant at Republic Bank (Ghana) PLC, I supported Relationship Officers with loan products and customer engagement, and guided customers through account opening and KYC requirements.

As an Admin Assistant at The Healthcounter Ltd., I prepared and analysed Excel reports on inventory and order fulfilment, contributing to a 15% reduction in turnaround times. I also processed 500+ daily sales orders and documented stock shortages and invoice discrepancies.
