Job Description
It Starts With Our Employees
FourLeaf's ultimate goal is to provide the best-in-class member and employee experience, and it all begins with two things: hiring incredible people and giving them a great place to work.
What You’ll Do
The BSA/AML Case Analyst is responsible for conducting and dispositioning mid-risk and continuation case investigations using a risk-based approach within Verafin, performing detailed research and documentation to determine whether activity can be mitigated or requires a SAR filing. This role includes writing SARs, escalating high-risk cases to leadership, and ensuring thorough record retention for audits and regulatory reviews.
This opportunity is open to flexible work options including a hybrid or remote set up.
Core Contributions
Investigate Tier 1 Cases and manual referrals using Verafin’s BSA/AML monitoring system, incorporating internet research, database queries, negative media screening, and internal system reviews.
Determine whether identified activity is suspicious, and if so, assess the level of BSA/AML risk. Provide recommendations to management on whether activity should be escalated for law enforcement referral or reviewed for potential account closure.
Coordinate with various business lines including Retail Banking, Business Banking, Fraud, Legal, and Regulatory Compliance, to gather supporting information and properly disposition cases.
Issue Requests for Information (RFIs) to internal business partners in Retail Banking, to validate or substantiate member activity.
Write and submit Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Continuing Activity SARs within Verafin, ensuring accuracy and compliance with FinCEN requirements and internal deadlines.
Escalate any high-risk cases (e.g., terrorism, human trafficking, negative media, employee account concerns) immediately to the BSA/AML Compliance Officer or Assistant Manager BSA/AML High Risk Operations.
Assist in processing 314(a) and 314(b) information-sharing requests in accordance with FinCEN guidelines, including validating request legitimacy and documenting all shared information.
Provide subject matter expertise and training support to junior analysts, specialists, or contractors.
Stay current on regulatory developments and participate in ongoing BSA/AML training. Support the BSA/AML Compliance Officer in ensuring FourLeaf’s compliance and reducing risk exposure.
Perform additional duties or special projects as assigned by management in support of the BSA/AML program and broader compliance functions.
