The Role

We are looking for a talented AML/KYC Analyst who will be ready to take on the responsibility of carrying out identity verification procedures and tackling suspected financial crime with confidence and attention to details. You’re a perfect fit if you are customer focused, conscientious, not afraid of challenges and constantly looking for ways to improve the processes.

An added advantage is 1 year (or more!) experience working in a Payments or Finance background with exposure to compliance procedures that surround financial services (we’re talking “Know Your Customer”, anti-money laundering, PEP/sanctions screening and/or fraud processes).

We’re looking for candidates who can work Monday to Friday 2pm - 10.30pm, as our team runs on different shift schedules

• Help identify and verify our customers by ensuring all operational tasks are well completed in a timely manner
• Analyse transactions generated by the monitoring system in order to mitigate financial crime risk
• Perform screening of the customers against different databases

• Cooperate with third parties (partners) regarding verification-related queries
• Answer verification-related queries from customers, as well as from the team
• Support us in building world class processes to scale our fast growing team and the company
• Continuous learning and up-skilling on your domain knowledge

What we’re looking for

• Experience in banking in AML/KYC function
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English, fluency in any other European language will be considered a plus
• Passion for exploring the intricacies of a challenging operational environment, and enthusiasm for engaging in KYC procedures, transaction monitoring, and similar tasks
• Strong analytical ability and great research skills
• A track record of proactive problem solving and drive to understand the whys
• Ability to work autonomously and take decisions in your ownership area
• Attention to detail and strong administrative abilities
• Efficient and swift – as some of the tasks we handle are repetitive and complicated, it is crucial to complete them in an efficient and customer-friendly manner

• Private health insurance
• Annual training budget
• Plum Premium for free
• Competitive referral scheme
• Hybrid working: 2 days a week connecting in our beautiful offices in London, Athens, or Cyprus
