AML/KYC Analyst

At Plum, we're on a mission to maximise wealth for all. We’re making saving money effortless and turning investing into something everyone can do

Our journey began back in 2017, when we became one of the first to use artificial intelligence and automation to simplify personal finance. Fast forward to today, and we've already helped people save £2 billion across 10 European markets.

Named the UK's fastest-growing fintech in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, our success is down to the passion and dedication of our diverse team. Based in our London, Athens and Nicosia offices, 170 talented people work together to empower people to do more with their money. And now, the team is growing!

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).

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 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
