Kyc Expert

Financial Crime Specialist | Client Relationship Expert

I am an experienced compliance professional with over 10 years of experience specializing in AML, KYC/KYB, financial crime prevention, and client relationship management within international fintech environments. I’ve worked with leading companies such as Binance, CoinList, and AustralPay, where I led client onboarding processes, conducted risk assessments, and performed Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for both individuals and high-risk businesses.

I have extensive experience managing end-to-end onboarding for VIP and institutional clients, ensuring smooth communication, eligibility validation, and risk evaluation throughout the client lifecycle. I’ve collaborated with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders across jurisdictions to uphold regulatory compliance and deliver a seamless onboarding experience.

I also have hands-on experience with tools like Refinitiv World-Check, Jumio, Sumsub, Risk Narrative,  Zendesk, along with a variety of KYC/KYB CRM platforms. Beyond operations, I’ve led process improvement initiatives, developed standard operating procedures, and created training resources to drive internal efficiency and compliance excellence.

I’m seeking a remote position in compliance, client onboarding, customer success managements, risk management, due diligence, or as a KYB/AML Analyst—ideally within fintech, crypto, or financial institutions that value hands-on onboarding experience, strong cross-functional collaboration, and a proactive approach to global regulatory standards.
