Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Unity Trust Bank Full time

About Unity Trust Bank

Unity Trust Bank is an award-winning, independent, commercial bank that uses banking to improve the lives of local communities. Our purpose is to help create a better society, not simply maximise profits.

We've worked with organisations that address social, economic and environmental needs across the UK for over 40 years. Our offices are located in major cities, where we offer a range of day-to-day banking services, including current accounts, savings accounts and loans.

We've achieved significant milestones, including £1 billion in lending to social enterprises, charities, small businesses, housing associations, and other socially-minded organisations. We've also received the King's Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development, in recognition of our dedication to delivering social good through our work.

Our values are embedded in our culture, and we've been named as one of the Best Places to Work by the Sunday Times. We're a Real Living Wage employer and have achieved the Fair Tax Mark. We're also a Women In Finance Charter signatory, a member of the Banking Standards Board, and we hold the Investors in People Gold standard.

The Role

Some of your responsibilities will include:

  • Monitoring and Assurance: Conduct quality assurance on the output of financial crime operations to detect suspicious activity. Investigate alert outcomes relating to transaction monitoring, name screening, payment filtering and fraud detection.
  • Investigations and Advisory: Conduct AML/CTF, Sanctions, Political Exposure, and Fraud Investigations in line with internal processes. Support the drafting of internal suspicious activity reports (SARs) prior to escalation.
  • Procedure Development and Training: Assist in developing and updating Line 1 financial crime procedures and methodologies. Ensure regulatory and internal process changes are communicated effectively.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with internal stakeholders to ensure a coordinated approach to financial crime prevention. Liaise with external bodies, including law enforcement and regulatory agencies, as necessary.

The Person

We're looking for experienced professionals who can work collaboratively and have the following skills:

  • Professional certification such as CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) or ICA Diploma in Financial Crime Prevention.
  • At least 3 years of experience in a similar role within financial crime compliance.
  • Strong knowledge of regulations and industry best practices.
  • Excellent analytical and investigative skills.
  • Strong attention to detail.
  • Effective communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Proficiency in using financial crime compliance monitoring software.
