Bitpanda is a European fintech platform founded in 2014 that enables millions of users to invest in cryptocurrencies, stocks, precious metals, and commodities. As an Associate in AFC (Anti-Financial Crime) Compliance, you will be part of the second line of defense within the AFC Execution team, supporting the governance and execution of the company's AML/AFC compliance framework.
Your primary responsibilities include conducting investigations for Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), Proof of Funds/Wealth (PoF/W), Transaction Monitoring (TxM) alerts, and PEP/Sanctions screening using OSINT research and crypto exposure analysis. You will ensure timely case progression, clear decision-making, and thorough documentation. As a second-level compliance executor, you will maintain consistent application of controls in PoF/W and TxM areas.
You will prepare high-quality case documentation including supporting evidence, statements of facts, AML Officer case presentations, and SARs or Approval/Refusal decisions as applicable. Your role requires balancing regulatory requirements and financial crime risk with awareness of customer impact while adhering to defined SLAs.
You will contribute to reporting requirements by preparing data for Controls Reports and delivering results for Quarterly and Annual AML Reports. Collaboration is key—you will work closely with first-line teams (AML Ops, KYC Ops, Risk Ops, Payment Ops, Customer Care), Legal, Risk, and leadership to manage escalations effectively and participate in continuous improvement initiatives.
Ideal candidates bring proven experience as an AML Officer or in similar financial crime compliance roles, ideally within crypto, fintech, or banking. You should be confident exercising professional judgment, documenting decisions clearly, and escalating appropriately. ACAMS or similar qualification is desirable. You are organized, comfortable in high regulatory standards environments, and able to work a shift-based schedule.
