 ABN AMRO

 ABN AMRO is one of the largest banks in the Netherlands. The bank serves clients across various sectors, including retail, private banking, and corporate banking. The bank operates internationally with a focus on Northwest Europe. In the Netherlands, ABN AMRO offers a variety of services and products through various channels, such as Mobile Banking and Online Banking. Putting the client's interests first is ABN AMRO's top priority. Through its Detecting Financial Crime (DFC) department, the bank is committed to tracing criminal money and thus making society safer.

Transaction Monitoring

 Transaction Monitoring is one of the departments within Detecting Financial Crime (DFC). Here, we monitor and analyze (unusual) transactions. This is aimed at managing the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing. By conducting our investigations effectively, we are able to combat financial crime!

The education and work environment

 You and your team will embark on a comprehensive, high-quality training program lasting approximately four months, based in Amersfoort. During the program, you will be expected at the office in Amersfoort or Amsterdam one to three times a week. You can work from home on the remaining days. More frequent office hours are also possible upon request. Throughout the program, you will receive intensive guidance from professional trainers and experienced colleagues. After this four-month training period, you will gain work experience within a team. This can be at one of four locations: Amersfoort, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, or Rotterdam. You may indicate your preference.

What are you going to do

 You'll learn to conduct your own investigations. You'll review a case file and investigate whether customer transactions may involve money laundering or terrorist financing.

 During your work, you'll conduct research on customers and their bank account usage. You'll use both internal systems and information from outside the organization to gain a clear understanding of the customer and their transactions. You'll document your findings in a report.

 If you can't properly explain certain transactions based on the information you've found, you'll formulate questions for the customer. These questions are posed to the customer by a dedicated team, the Client Outreach Team (COT). You won't have direct contact with customers.

 When the COT receives the customer's responses, you review them and incorporate them into your investigation. If the transaction appears suspicious or unusual, you take the appropriate follow-up steps and inform the appropriate colleagues or departments in a timely manner.

 Once your case is complete, you'll begin a new investigation. Besides conducting research, you can also participate in daily or weekly meetings, case discussions, and training sessions.

 You'll be working in Dutch. You'll be handling sensitive information, so it's crucial to be able to communicate well, both verbally and in writing.

This is what your working day as an analyst could look like after completing the TM training

 08:00 – You take on your first case of the day and investigate whether the transactions carried out by that customer may involve money laundering and/or terrorist financing.
 9:00 AM – Start of the day with your team! This is where we discuss performance (both quality and quantity), ask for help, and share relevant updates.
 09:30 – Back to the case!

 10:00 AM – Customer contact is necessary to conduct a thorough risk assessment. Please forward your questions to the Client Outreach Team to give the customer the opportunity to answer your questions and send any necessary documentation.

 10:30 – You take on the second case of the day, decide that these transactions do not involve money laundering and/or terrorist financing, record your findings in the system, and close the case.
 11:30 - You attend a knowledge session organized by the department. Always informative!
 12:30 – Break! Enjoy a nice lunch and catch up with colleagues.
 1:00 PM – You see that an inquiry you sent a week earlier has been returned by the COT. After analyzing the client's statement and the documentation you received, you conclude that there is no WWFT risk. You record your findings in the system and close the case.
 2:30 PM – Your colleague needs help and calls you. Two heads are better than one.
 3:15 PM – After a short walk, you take on a new case. It turns out to be a complex one, so you briefly contact an experienced colleague.
 5:30 PM – Case closed! Time to head home to enjoy your evening.
