Checkout.com is a global fintech platform powering over 10 billion transactions yearly for more than one billion shoppers worldwide. As a Transaction Monitoring Analyst II, you will serve as a frontline defender against financial crime, performing deep-dive investigations into merchant and consumer payment patterns to detect money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud.
Unlike entry-level roles, Analyst II positions handle escalated and complex alerts, identify emerging financial crime typologies, and contribute to the refinement of monitoring rules. You will ensure suspicious activity is properly identified, documented, and reported to relevant authorities via Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) or Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) in compliance with Mauritius and global regulatory requirements.
Key responsibilities include:
- Conducting end-to-end investigations on complex transaction monitoring alerts using internal data and external OSINT tools to identify suspicious patterns
- Managing a queue of high-priority cases with thorough documentation and timely clearance or escalation
- Drafting high-quality SARs/STRs for review by the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO)
- Identifying and escalating new financial crime typologies and red flags to improve automated detection rules
- Conducting enhanced due diligence (EDD) on high-risk accounts or merchants
- Collaborating with Quality Control, Financial Intelligence Unit, and Product Engineering teams on alert quality and system effectiveness
- Serving as a point of escalation and subject matter expert for Junior Analysts, providing guidance on complex investigative techniques
- Ensuring all reviews are completed within strict regulatory timelines and internal Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
Checkout.com operates a hybrid model with three days per week in the office to support collaboration and connection. The company has 20 offices across six continents with London as headquarters.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Banking, Finance, Law, Criminology, or related field
- Minimum 3+ years of hands-on experience in AML Transaction Monitoring or Financial Crime Investigations within Fintech or Banking
- Proficiency in Transaction Monitoring systems (e.g., Napier, Featurespace, or proprietary tools) and data visualization tools
- Strong analytical ability to connect disparate data points and uncover complex money laundering schemes
- Exceptional written communication skills with proven ability to write clear, concise, and defensible investigative narratives
- Solid understanding of the Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money Laundering Act (FIAMLA) and global AML/CFT standards (FATF)
- ACAMS or ICA certification highly preferred
- Proactive investigator mindset with high attention to detail and ability to work under pressure
