UK Compliance Officer

Compliance Officer – London (Hybrid / Remote)

We're partnered with a fast-growing, global cross-border payments and Banking-as-a-Service platform – moving money across 70+ countries through virtual IBANs, FX, stablecoin settlement, and digital asset infrastructure. They're now progressing an FCA licence (with strong regulator feedback to date) and building their UK presence.

This is a hands-on, mature compliance seat working alongside the Group Head of Compliance – a genuine step up for someone ready to own day-to-day financial crime and operational compliance across multiple jurisdictions. An enabler, not a blocker.

Why you'll want this one:

• Genuinely flexible – fully remote to start, with the option to move to a London hybrid pattern.
• Ground-floor exposure as the UK function is built out following FCA approval.
• Direct work with the Group Head of Compliance and senior team – real visibility, real influence.
• A platform building at the frontier of payments, digital assets, and emerging markets – positioned as a bridge between emerging markets and global development.

What you'll need:

• Minimum 3–5 years in compliance, onboarding, or financial crime within fintech, banking, or payments.
• Strong AML/CTF, sanctions screening, and CDD/EDD knowledge.
• Familiarity with cross-border payments and regulated environments.
• UK experience essential; European or Canadian regulatory exposure welcome.
• Capable of FCA pre-approval and full-time onboarding. (EMI licence acquisition experience not required.)

What you'll own:

• Customer due diligence, EDD reviews, and onboarding support.
• Transaction monitoring alerts, sanctions screening, and case files for MLRO escalation.
• Compliance monitoring, controls, and remediation follow-up across business units.
• Compliance checks on digital asset, stablecoin, and payment products.
• Cross-functional partnering with Operations, Customer Success, Product, and external banking partners.
