human support. Our Members rely on us to help them run their business with confidence, and that responsibility shapes the way we

We move fast. We care about quality. We stay close to the detail. And we believe great performance and genuine hospitality should

go hand in hand.

If you want to build meaningful products, solve real problems and make a genuine difference for local businesses, we’d love to

queries, and contribute to the effective handling of cases.

Maintain accurate records of investigations and decisions in line with internal procedures and regulatory expectations.

Keep up to date with AML regulations, financial crime trends, and internal policies to ensure investigations reflect current

standards and best practice.

Familiarity with card acquiring and/or e-money/banking products and the financial crime risks associated with them.

Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret transactional data, identify patterns, and draw well-reasoned

conclusions.

Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, concise, and well-evidenced case narratives.

A collaborative team player with good interpersonal skills and a willingness to support colleagues.

Experience using transaction monitoring systems and case management tools.

Exposure to SAR drafting or supporting SAR submissions.

Teya is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
