The Compliance area is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the AML/CTF (LAFT) risk management framework of the company. As we build a financial institution from the ground up, this area plays a critical role in ensuring regulatory compliance, protecting the company from financial crime risks, and enabling sustainable and responsible growth aligned with supervisory expectations.

Co-build and scale a data-driven Compliance framework from the ground up within a fast-growing fintech environment.
•
Support and lead SARLAFT compliance monitoring and risk assessments to identify, prevent, and mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks across business operations.
•
Conduct customer and third-party due diligence (KYC/CDD), transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity investigations while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies.
•
Support regulatory audits, reporting processes, and compliance reviews by maintaining accurate documentation, preparing risk reports, and strengthening AML/SARLAFT controls and governance frameworks.
•
Design, implement, and continuously enhance data segmentation models, information classification systems, and compliance risk methodologies to improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
•

•
Balance strong regulatory requirements with scalable, efficient, and data-driven operational processes in a high-growth environment.
