What You'll Do

Transaction Monitoring

• Review and disposition transaction monitoring alerts, applying BSA/AML typologies to distinguish suspicious activity from false positives
• Draft clear, well-supported case narratives and escalate higher-risk activity for supervisory review
• Contribute to UAR/SAR filing support under the direction of senior team members

KYC & Customer Due Diligence

• Conduct KYC reviews for new and existing customers, verifying identity documents and assessing risk profiles
• Identify customers that warrant enhanced due diligence (EDD) and flag for escalation
• Maintain accurate, complete records in our case management system

Program Support

• Assist with periodic quality assurance and file reviews, including for our bank partner program
• Help identify patterns or process gaps that could improve detection coverage or review efficiency
• Participate in team training and stay current on evolving AML typologies and regulatory guidance

What We're Looking For

Required

• 1–2 years of experience in BSA/AML compliance, fraud operations, or a related financial crimes role (internship or co-op experience considered)
• Working knowledge of KYC/CDD requirements and BSA obligations
• Strong written communication — you can explain why something is or isn't suspicious in plain language
• High attention to detail and comfort working through ambiguous or incomplete information
• Ability to manage a queue and prioritize effectively
• Embody a growth mindset and bring a self-driven mentality to your work

Nice to Have

• CAMS or other AML certification in progress or completed
