About the Role
American Express' Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is responsible for the end-to-end suspicious activity reporting process, which entails monitoring for, investigating, and, when appropriate, reporting suspicious activity.
As part of this process, the FIU relies on Global Financial Crime Compliance partners to develop and implement automated transaction monitoring rules, reports, and other processes designed to identify activity potentially indicative of criminal behavior.
The FIU then investigates the potentially suspicious financial activity and, when appropriate, refers matters to EMEA compliance partners (Market Compliance Officers - MCOs) for review and reporting.
In addition, the FIU manages risk associated with politically exposed persons and persons and entities on core sanctions and risk lists through regular screening, and manages risk associated with improper payments that could be indicative of bribery, corruption, or other illicit activity by reviewing internal American Express payments and expenditures.
The FIU performs a critical role in ensuring that American Express complies with all applicable local and international laws and regulations and provides law enforcement with key information for the investigation and prosecution of money laundering and terrorist financing, credit card fraud, identity theft, and other criminal activity.
The successful candidate will work in our hub in Madrid (Spain) to mitigate risk to the American Express enterprise through research and analysis of financial activity for suspicious patterns along with the review of records.
