We've been officially certified as a Great Place to Work™ in recognition of our outstanding employee experience! So far, we have 8,000+ people working around the world, from our great offices or remotely, on our mission. And we're looking for more.

About the role

The Financial Crime Operations department is at the forefront of Revolut’s efforts to keep customers and their money safe 🥷 These agents work directly with customers to resolve issues and flag potential concerns. Using cutting edge technology, we aim to prevent financial crime in a way the banking world hasn’t seen so far 💫

We're looking for an analyst who can use all the tools available to see the bigger picture - someone that can not only identify suspicious activity where apparent, but is also able to ensure we are treating customers fairly.

The main responsibility will be conducting investigations into internal SARs and complex cases by applying judgement, analytical skills, and solid decision making to identify where grounds for suspicion of Money Laundering or Terrorist Financing exist.

As the FIU plays a crucial role in ensuring Revolut meets its business, legal, and regulatory obligations, there might be some changes of schedule in this role outside of standard business hours, including nights and weekends.
