AML Specialist (Virtual Asset Clients Onboarding Team)
We are looking for an AML Specialist to join our AML/CTF department. The Anti-Money Laundering department jobs ensure that our customers and their money are kept out of risk. It also significantly contributes to the overall success of our business by allowing access to financial services for people and corporations that are left outside the legacy banking systems. Since we are aiming to bridge the gap between traditional financial services and cutting-edge solutions, financial crime prevention is one of the main axes we are building our organization around. As a result, we promote continuous internal and external learning, as well as in-depth communication with various AML solutions vendors and government agencies.
