Job Description

Our Compliance Officers serve as the first line of defence against financial crime, protecting clients and their customers from fraud, money laundering, and related threats.

In this role, you’ll manage incoming reports, draft Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), and coordinate with internal and external teams to ensure the swift handling of potential risks. You’ll be essential to the AFC strategy, from freezing and unfreezing accounts to enhancing transaction monitoring systems and collaborating on complex cases. Additionally, you’ll play a key role in managing customer account cancellations and processing payouts when required. Your proactive approach and keen eye for detail will help streamline processes and reduce risk, giving you the chance to build strong cross-functional relationships and further your expertise in financial compliance and risk management.
