Financial Crime Analyst

At ING Australia, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture, and technology to become the best version of you. And we are counting on your unique voice and perspective to help ING Australia become even better.
We’re on the hunt for multiple Financial Crime Analysts to join our high performing Sydney based team in a permanent role.
As a Financial Crime Analyst, you’ll be investigating unusual maters escalated by the Fraud Operations Team. This involves reviewing customer profiles, conducting thorough account transaction reviews, and identifying any fraud and financial crime (AML/CTF) red flags to determine whether there is a reasonable basis on which to form a suspicion for the purposes of reporting a (Suspicious Matter Report) SMR to AUSTRAC.
You’ll require extensive knowledge of and prior experience with drafting a Grounds for Suspicion (GFS) and completion of all parts of an SMR submission. Draft SMRs are then escalated to FCC AML Ops (Second Line) to determine if the SMR should be submitted to AUSTRAC. Additionally, you’ll be responsible for recommending changes to customer risk ratings where appropriate based on the financial crime risks associated with the customer.
What you’ll do
Analyse and assess the ML/TF risk in cases escalated from Fraud Operations.
Write a Grounds for Suspicion narrative in a clear and concise manner for cases where an SMR may be required.
Provide sufficient and well-reasoned rationale to mitigate all red flags and close a case deemed not suspicious.
Follow workplace processes and comply with ING policies and procedures.
Complete all required administration tasks and ensure databases are up to date.
Ensure KPIs are met and SLAs are adhered to.
Escalate high priority cases and potential issues to the Fraud UMR Manager.
What we’re looking for
Previous experience in an AML or Fraud related role.
Knowledge of the AML/CTF Act and Rules or previous experience with SMRs.
The ability to meet KPIs and consistently complete work to the highest quality.
Excellent time management and organisational skills, with high attention to detail.
Ability to work independently and part of a team.
The ability to adapt to change.
