The Opportunity

The AML Compliance Officer (AMLCO) is responsible for overseeing and managing all aspects of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Sanctions program, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations. This role requires a seasoned professional with extensive knowledge of the Payment Service Provider (PSP) industry and financial crime compliance (FCC).

Balancing high-level operational execution with strategic coordination, the AMLCO provides AML-CFT and sanctions regulatory expertise to all three lines of defense (1LOD, 2LOD, and 3LOD) and supports broader business and operational functions.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities​

• Advisory & Compliance Support: Provide expert guidance on AML-CFT compliance across all levels of defense and business operations, assisting with day-to-day activities when required.
• Regulatory Monitoring & Analysis: Track FCC regulatory developments, assess their impact, and support implementation.
• Policy Implementation & Oversight: Ensure compliance with AML-CFT regulations by coordinating activities through regular and ad hoc meetings. Strengthen the FCC framework and ensure consistent policy enforcement.
• Risk Management & Assessments: Lead AML-CFT risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential financial crime risks associated with the organization’s activities, customers, and services.
• Escalations & Incident Handling: Manage escalations and regulatory inquiries, ensuring proper documentation and timely communication with the Group CFCCO.
• Audit & Testing: Monitor and test the effectiveness of the FCC program, collaborate on audits, and address identified findings.
• Reporting & Documentation: Maintain accurate records of AML-CFT activities, preparing reports for senior management and the Board as required.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Group FCC Data Officer on risk management and reporting, ensuring robust governance and oversight.
