About the job

Anti-Money Laundering Analyst II

Location: São Paulo, Brazil

Team description

As an Anti-Money Laundering Analyst in our AML Brazil team, you'll work on the front line of transaction monitoring, reviewing the alerts that tell us when something in a financial pattern doesn't look right. Your investigations help SumUp spot money laundering and other financial or reputational risks early, and your findings can become reports submitted to regulatory authorities, so your judgement has a real impact on how we meet our obligations in Brazil. You'll be part of a global AML structure, working with international colleagues every day, which means you'll share knowledge, learn how financial crime is tackled in other markets and build skills that go well beyond your local team.
