Customer Due Diligence Specialist, Associate 1

The CDD Team sources documentation primarily via the internal Client Service and Client Relationship teams. On a case by case basis such input may need to be augmented by documents collected directly from our clients or from the public domain. The complete document package is used to prepare an electronic AML/KYC profile that meets the local and corporation standards. This process includes creation of client reference data, solicitation of documentation to satisfy the prevailing AML/KYC requirements and conducting due diligence and media-related searches. The CDD Team ensures that all AML/KYC records are reviewed and approved by a centralised Quality Control Team incl. the coverage of any follow-up in the case of (initial) comments or rejections due to gaps in the stored package.
