Transaction Investigation Officer

About Salmon Salmon Bank (Rural Bank) Inc., the banking arm of Salmon Group Ltd., is a technology-driven challenger bank in the Philippines operating under a BSP license. We combine the trust of a licensed institution with the speed and convenience of a modern financial product. Work within regulated financial infrastructure, where product, risk, compliance, operations, technology, and customer experience are closely connected. About the role You'll join our financial crime investigations function, working alongside the Senior Investigator and the wider team. You'll review alerts, run CDD and EDD checks, and build the case narratives that keep our investigations sharp and audit-ready. The team is still young and still figuring out its processes — you'll help shape that by doing the work well and flagging what needs to change. What you'll do Review and triage transaction monitoring alerts across Salmon Bank's payments products, making timely, well-documented recommendations for closure or escalation. Conduct CDD and EDD reviews as part of your investigation workflow — sanctions screening, PEP checks, adverse media research. Build structured case narratives that document your logic, evidence, and conclusion clearly enough for Senior Investigator review and Compliance submission. Escalate complex or high-risk cases to the Senior Investigator with a clear summary of what you found and why it matters — they own the handoff to Compliance and AML from there. Flag new typologies or patterns you notice in your caseload — your observations directly shape how the team tunes its alert logic. What you'll own Accurate, audit-ready records in the case management system for every case you touch Your team's productivity and quality SLAs. The clarity and rigor of your case narratives, from evidence gathering through to conclusion. What makes you a strong fit 1–3 years in AML investigations, transaction monitoring, or financial crime compliance — ideally at a fintech, payments company, or digital bank. Solid understanding of KYC, CDD, EDD frameworks, AML/CFT regulation, and common money laundering typologies. Strong written and verbal communication with a sharp eye for accuracy and detail. Strong analytical skills — comfortable interpreting complex datasets to spot anomalies and suspicious patterns. Comfortable in a small team that's still figuring out its process — you flag gaps rather than work around them. Experience supporting STR/SAR investigations, familiarity with transaction monitoring platforms like Feedzai, Hawk AI, or Sardine, and a CAMS or ICA qualification (or working toward one) are all a genuine advantage, though not required. What we offer You'll get real ownership over your caseload from day one, with direct exposure to how a bank's financial crime function gets built. You'll work closely with a Senior Investigator who can teach you the craft, inside a small team where your observations actually change how things run. This is a chance to grow your AML expertise fast, in an environment that rewards people who spot problems and speak up.
