PEP Screening Agent

We’re looking for a Screening Agent to join our growing PEP Screening Team in our Tallinn Office. This role is a unique opportunity to have an impact on Wise’s mission, grow as an agent and help save millions more people money.

Your mission:
Wise has already pioneered new ways for people to transfer money across borders and currencies. Our customers can also manage their hard-earned money with the world’s first platform to offer true multi-currency banking.

Here’s how you’ll be contributing to PEP Screening Team:

• Following operational procedures on PEP and Adverse Media alert handling, including documenting the decision rationale  

• Performing analysis of potential matches against internal and external sources

• Communicating with customers with strong customer empathy when further information is required as part of our reviews

• Supporting in facilitating approval for onboarding customers as PEP from the relevant Compliance Officer

• Liaising with our Product team in order to refine automated screening risk methodology, reduce false positive, mitigate Adverse Media and PEP risks and improve customer experience

• Cooperating with potential outsourcing partners

• Supporting on other controls within Wise’s Screening team if required

• Working as a team player to deliver a great customer experience, going the extra mile where needed and sometimes contributing more broadly through side projects

• Maintaining basic understanding of Anti-Money Laundering and CFT Regulations and how these impact the business, as well as Wise products and services
