Role description

We are hiring a Level 1 Compliance Analyst to support the compliance operations of our payment business across Hong Kong and Singapore. This is an L1-maker role within the client onboarding and compliance review process, responsible for preparing onboarding documentation, conducting initial KYC/KYB and CDD checks, documenting screening and risk assessment outcomes, and compiling complete case files for checker or senior compliance review.

The role will focus on client onboarding, KYC/KYB documentation, customer due diligence, risk assessment preparation, screening documentation, and compliance record maintenance for individuals, corporates, merchants, partners, directors, authorised signatories, UBOs, and connected parties. The analyst is expected to ensure onboarding files are accurate, complete, and audit-ready, and to escalate documentation gaps, adverse findings, complex ownership structures, or higher-risk cases in line with internal procedures.

This role is suitable for someone with 2–3 years of experience in payments, fintech, banking, remittance, stored value facilities, money services, merchant acquiring, onboarding operations, KYC/KYB, or compliance operations. The role is maker-level and does not act as the final approver, policy owner, MLRO, or primary regulatory liaison.
