As a Senior Financial Crime Analyst specializing in transaction monitoring within the crypto industry, I focus on detecting and preventing illicit activity involving virtual assets. At Genpact, I was promoted to a Quality Control role within just six months, reflecting my strong investigative skills, attention to detail, and commitment to regulatory compliance.
I monitor and investigate high-risk crypto transactions for signs of money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud, using a combination of internal systems and blockchain analysis tools. My work involves deep dives into patterns of suspicious activity, flagging transactions that pose regulatory or reputational risks, and ensuring alignment with global AML/CTF regulations.
• Review and investigate alerts generated through transaction monitoring systems involving crypto transactions, identifying suspicious patterns and potential AML/CTF violations.
• Evaluate customer behavior, transaction flow, frequency, value, and counterparties to assess alignment with known risk profiles and expected activity.
• Analyze activity on crypto wallets, exchanges, OTC trades, and P2P platforms for red flags such as structuring, layering, use of anonymity-enhanced coins, and fast in/out movement.
• Utilize blockchain analytics and risk scoring tools to trace transaction flows and assess counterparties.
• Draft clear, concise, and well-substantiated narratives for case closures, including rationale for escalation or no further action (NFA).
• Escalate Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs/STRs) in compliance with internal escalation protocols and regulatory expectations.
• Ensure cases meet required documentation standards and support audit readiness through detailed case file maintenance.
• Promoted to Quality Control (QC) Analyst within 6 months for delivering consistently accurate and detailed transaction monitoring investigations.
• Conduct Quality Control reviews of peer investigations, ensuring consistency in decision-making, adherence to SOPs, and regulatory alignment.
• Provide actionable feedback to analysts to improve the quality of alert disposition and case summaries.
• Participate in regular calibration sessions with team leads and compliance managers to align investigation standards and regulatory interpretations.
• Stay current with FATF guidance, FinCEN advisories, and emerging crypto crime typologies, adapting investigative approaches as needed.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by identifying process inefficiencies, rule tuning opportunities, or gaps in typology coverage.
• Collaborate with team leads and risk officers to refine risk scenarios and rule logic based on alert trends and case escalations.
• Assist in developing internal playbooks and reference guides for crypto-specific red flags and typology indicators.
• Adhere to data privacy and information security policies, especially while handling high-risk customer data in digital asset investigations.
