Team
The AFC Operations team is primarily responsible for transaction monitoring and the KYC process, including PEP and sanctions screening. The team ensures that all customer activities comply with applicable AML and regulatory requirements, identifying and escalating suspicious activities where necessary.
Working in close collaboration with the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO), the team plays a key role in safeguarding the organization against financial crime risks. In addition, AFC Operations continuously reviews and improves internal processes to enhance efficiency, data quality and regulatory compliance standards.
