- The purpose of this role has been to actively benefit TD Bank by mitigating AML risk that it has been facing due to added requirements from regulatory authorities and external auditors. External contractors, such as my team and I, have actively conducted transaction monitoring on cases and alerts on the SAS and Oracle platforms throughout the past two years.
- External regulators and auditors bring added procedural changes, stricter quality control metrics, and much more thorough investigations, such as but not limited to enhanced KYC due diligence, deeper negative news searches, and PEP screenings by accessing various external software, tools, and websites, including but not limited to Ovation, GIFT, LexisNexis, Blue Zone, Titan, and C-mod. Our team emphasized and exceeded expectations by conducting thorough internet research, investigating potential negative news, and implementing an extremely thorough attention to detail, as well as focused attention to overachieving metrics in place.
- My team and I, as some of the more experienced analysts, consistently mentored incoming analysts. Greater collaboration fosters dialogue between analysts from all sorts of backgrounds and walks of life, helping my team achieve swifter transitions for incoming junior analysts, and a friendlier environment among analysts despite constant procedural changes and expectations that we consistently exceed.
- The greatest asset this project has brought is fluidity in switching the way we conduct reviews, and adaptability to change depending on requirements, whether the regulator or auditor requires a more enhanced due diligence process, or whether the bank expects longer visual review periods for investigating individual cases. This project requires us to consistently be in contact with various internal banking teams, such as the high-risk customer group, further investigations, sanctions, and PEP, to name a few. Consistent interactions with these teams foster an environment where we go beyond our reviews and investigations to holistically seek red flags that might be of interest to these teams. Numerous times, my team and I detect patterns that develop various confidential investigations within the more senior members from the TD side to actively work on such potential patterns detected by my team.
- A very rewarding aspect of this position, from my standpoint, is developing narratives to escalate potential elder abuse cases and CMLO (Chinese money laundering organization) to upper management, with most cases being accepted and acknowledged due to correct pattern detection. Due to thorough due diligence, greatly benefited by open dialogue with fellow colleagues, attention to detail, and attending various webinars, meetings, and articles in the news, it helps to stay ahead of potential trends.
- Consistently exceeding daily expected case requirements, maintaining a 90%+ QC score on a monthly basis. Assisting fellow colleagues in improving their quality scores by sharing tips to better investigate, conduct deeper KYC searches, and have an eye for connecting the dots.
