We are looking for passionate investigators who love solving problems and keeping up-to-date with the latest financial crime trends to join our team, kickstart a career in anti-money laundering, and help Monzo make money work for everyone.
We believe that our investigators are best placed to protect our customers and Monzo when they have a holistic understanding of financial crime teams, typologies, and task types. This means that we tackle all types of financial crime as one financial crime team, working together to address money laundering, sanctions breaches, terrorist financing, fraud, bribery, corruption, tax evasion, and more.
This means that you’ll have the opportunity to be exposed to, and trained to work on, a broad variety of financial crime tasks over the course of your career at Monzo.
Every day, you’ll spend your time on things like:
- Conducting screening against adverse media lists, politically exposed persons lists (PEP), and sanctions lists.
- Making decisions about the action to take on customer accounts or sign ups across a variety of real-time queues, including transaction monitoring.
- Engaging with other banks and financial institutions about reports of fraudulent behaviour.
You Should Apply If
- You have experience working in operational financial crime, fraud, or screening teams – or think that you have other relevant experience that we should consider.
- You have a keen interest in current anti-money laundering trends and typologies.
- You love connecting the dots and solving problems.
- You ideally have experience in one or more of the following:
- transaction monitoring
- screening and approving customer sign ups
- submitting and receiving fraud reports to and from other banks
- You are comfortable independently making judgement-based decisions with significant potential impact on the bank and customers.
- You’re great at explaining things to people, and have flawless written English.
- You’re excited by our mission of making money work for everyone.
