Overview: We are looking for a sharp, mid-level Financial Crime Analyst to join our Compliance team. You will be the "eyes and ears" of our platform, bridging the gap between traditional fiat remittance and the world of virtual assets

  • Investigation: Use blockchain forensic tools (e.g., Chainalysis/TRM/Elliptic) to trace crypto flows and bank-level tools to trace fiat "mule" accounts.
  • Reporting: Draft and file SARs/STRs, CTRs, FTRs to the NFIU and prepare internal Fraud Reports for the Head of Legal & Compliance.
  • Mitigation: Act decisively to manage liens and account restrictions on suspected fraudulent inflows to protect the company and its users.


The ideal candidate must have:

  • Experience: 3–5 years in a Fintech, Crypto Exchange, or Digital Banking compliance/fraud role.
  • Tech Savvy: You know your way around a Block Explorer and have experience with automated AML monitoring software.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Strong understanding of CBN, SEC (VASP rules), and NFIU reporting standards.

  • A collaborative and inclusive culture
