KYC / Compliance Process Optimization
Reviewed and tightened KYC screening workflows, embedding sanctions-list checks directly into daily transaction processing.
The problem
Existing KYC screening processes were fragmented from day-to-day transaction workflows, increasing the risk of missed sanctions matches and creating inconsistent compliance documentation across teams.
Screening process design
Sanctions screening embedded directly into the daily transaction workflow — no longer a separate, disconnected step.
The approach
I reviewed the bank's existing KYC screening processes end to end and identified gaps where sanctions-list checks were not consistently embedded in daily transaction handling. I integrated sanctions-list screening directly into the daily transaction workflow, built standardized compliance-reporting templates to bring consistency across teams, and documented every process step to satisfy local and international regulatory standards and support future audits.
