- Stay updated on evolving local and payment industry regulations, card scheme rules, and best practices to ensure compliance with applicable standards
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of customer due diligence activities, including audit trails, risk assessments, and supporting documentation
- Assist in the development and enhancement of KYC policies, procedures, and tools specific to the payments industry to improve efficiency and effectiveness
- Provide training and support to other team members on KYC processes, industry requirements, and emerging trends
- Report any potential cases of money laundering, fraud, or suspicious activities to the Financial Crime Compliance Team
