Your role & work environment
Money laundering, Tax evasion and Financial & Economic Crime (FEC) as a whole is affecting directly our economy & social welfare, by distorting prices, stimulating (cyber)crime, diverting resources to sterile sectors, weakening economic & social policies... Huge amounts of dirty money are still circling around us and criminals are looking for any opportunity to recycle the profits of their crimes through the financial sector. Our KYC Tribe plays a key role in this fight against FEC.
At KYC, our work environment is inspiring, and people & delivery focused. To achieve this, we listen to and lead our people. We relentlessly improve the data driven approaches to KYC and invest in the data proficiency of our team members. We leverage artificial intelligence capabilities, continuously reduce non-value-added process steps, and seek to simplify and automate all processes of the KYC journey whilst being compliant at the same time. We are ambitious!
You will be working within the Transaction Monitoring squad.
The squad has end-to-end ownership of transaction monitoring processes. It relies on analytical tools and processes to identify unusual and potentially suspicious customer behaviour. The analytical tools process millions of transactional records daily to highlight such customer behaviour, for treatment by KYC investigators.
The team ensures the correct implementation, configuration, updates and operationalization of analytical tools and processes. We achieve this via data-driven and risk-based methodologies to ensure adherence to both ING's risk appetite and regulatory requirements.
We work and coordinate with many stakeholders (in Belgium, Amsterdam Global HQ, and other international ING Hubs) to implement required changes & ensure process runs properly on daily basis.
