The Role:

The primary role of an AML KYC Senior Analyst focuses on the facets of a KYC Profile that pose an AML risk. The REM Senior Analyst reviews the client profile in the context of potential associated risks to assess and understand the level of AML risk posed by the client to Citi, in accordance with the framework set by the Global KYC Policy and its supporting Standards. This also includes a quality assurance check of the record for full completeness and accuracy.

The Global AML KYC Foreign Correspondent Bank/Payment Intermediary (FCB/PI) Program is focused on the effective execution of the customer due diligence process, specifically for FCB & PI clients. Working with KYC-related representatives, the group coordinates the timely completion of an FCB/PI client's Periodic Review.

FCB/PI customer due diligence records are created and maintained on a strategic onboarding platform, which includes workflow functionality to facilitate information being incorporated into client records, as well as the subsequent necessary levels of review and approval. The due diligence process for FCB is facilitated by multiple teams in Global KYC consisting of analysts assigned to a given client record who work together to ensure that the various components of the client’s record are complete and up to date.

AML KYC FCB/PI Risk Evaluation Management (REM) Team reviews the potential AML risks associated with certain prospective and existing clients so that the client does not present undue legal, regulatory or reputational risk to Citi.
