At Trustly, we're building a smarter, faster, and more secure financial future by revolutionizing the world of payments. As a global leader in Open Banking Payments, we are establishing Pay by Bank as the new standard at checkout, providing unparalleled freedom, speed, and ease to millions of consumers and merchants worldwide.

Our Ambition: To build the world’s most disruptive payment network and redefine what the payment experience should feel like.

Trustly is a global team of innovators, collaborators, and doers.  If you are driven by a strong sense of purpose and thrive in a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and high-growth environment, join us and be part of a team that’s transforming the way the world pays.

ABOUT THE TRANSACTION MONITORING TEAM
The Transaction Monitoring team is responsible for identifying and investigating potentially suspicious activity across Trustly’s payment flows. The team assesses transactional behaviour, detects risk patterns, and ensures timely escalation and reporting in line with regulatory requirements.
 
A core focus of the team is improving detection quality through data and machine learning. Working closely with analytics, Transaction Monitoring combines ML-driven signals with expert review to reduce false positives, improve accuracy, and ensure meaningful risk coverage. The goal is to stop financial crime effectively while supporting smooth, low-friction experiences for consumers and merchants.

You take ownership of complex transaction monitoring and investigations, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements, internal policies, and Trustly’s risk appetite.
 
This role goes beyond case handling. You act as a subject matter expert, contribute to quality and control improvements, and help evolve how we detect, assess, and mitigate financial crime risks across merchants and transactions.

  • Contribute to quality assurance, control testing, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Support external communication with relevant stakeholders when required
  • Actively contribute to refining procedures, controls, and policies with a forward-looking mindset
  • Identify patterns, emerging risks, and opportunities to strengthen detection and efficiency

Who you are

  • 3-5+ years of hands-on AML experience, with demonstrated progression and autonomy
  • Strong understanding of financial crime regulations and ML & TF typologies
  • Proven ability to manage complex cases and make sound decisions under pressure
  • Comfortable working with large, complex datasets and drawing clear conclusions
  • Natural owner who takes accountability and looks for better ways of working
  • Confident communicator in English (B2–C1), both written and spoken
  • Relevant certifications such as ACAMS or ICA are highly valued

What We Do

At Trustly, we envision a world in which online payments are fast, simple and secure for everyone — merchants, consumers and banks alike. One hundred years ago, cash was king. People got paid in cash, carried it in their wallets, and bought things with it at the local store. Payment was easy. Oh, how the times have changed. Today, our salaries are deposited straight into our bank accounts and we shop online, from merchants all around the world. So why is it so hard to pay straight from our bank accounts? For consumers, paying online should be as easy as sliding a bill across the counter. And accepting payments and issuing refunds should be the least of merchants’ worries. Credit cards, debit cards, e-wallets, invoices and cash-on-delivery are all middlemen levying fees, debt and interest for the simple task of moving money from one person to another. At Trustly, we work hard to make online payments easy.

Why Work With Us

At Trustly, we work hard to make online payments easy. We’re dynamic, not stuffy. We’ve got the drive and ambition of a startup and the experience and advantage of a scale-up, all wrapped up in one amazing team. The pace is fast, and change is frequent. We prioritize agility to adapt to whatever tomorrow brings.
