Your role & work environment

Money laundering, Tax evasion and Financial & Economic Crime (FEC) as a whole is affecting our economy & social welfare by distorting prices, stimulating (cyber)crime, diverting resources and weakening economic & social policies. Significant amounts of dirty money are circulating and criminals are looking for any opportunity to recycle the profits of their crimes through the financial sector. Our Financial Crime Prevention (FCP) Tribe plays a key role in the fight against FEC.

At FCP, our work environment is inspiring and people & delivery focused. To achieve this, we listen to and lead our people. We relentlessly improve the data driven approaches to FCP and invest in the data proficiency of our team members. We leverage artificial intelligence capabilities, continuously reduce non-value-added process steps, and seek to simplify and automate all processes of the FCP journey whilst being compliant at the same time. We are ambitious!

You will be working within the Transaction Monitoring squad.

The squad has end-to-end ownership of the transaction monitoring (TM) processes. It relies on analytical tools and processes to identify unusual and potentially suspicious customer behaviour. The analytical tools process millions of transactional records daily to highlight such customer behaviour, for treatment by FCP investigators. 

The team ensures the correct implementation, configuration, updates and operationalization of analytical tools and processes. We achieve this via data-driven and risk-based methodologies to ensure adherence to both ING's risk appetite and regulatory requirements.

We work and coordinate with many stakeholders (in Belgium, Amsterdam Global HQ, and other international ING Hubs) to implement required changes & ensure that the process runs efficient and effective daily.

Your key responsibilities as a (senior) CJE Transaction Monitoring

As a Customer Journey Expert (CJE) it is your responsibility to ensure all TM processes are efficient and customer-oriented, as well as the shortest time-to-market of new solutions, by leveraging on innovation and smart data, while taking all regulatory requirements into consideration.
