• Positioned At Whitefield, Bengaluru, KA
• Employee ID - U442068.
• Following my transition from Treliant to SoFi at WNS in December 2023, I was promoted to Senior Associate – Operations in October 2024. In my current role within the Client Intelligence Unit (CIU), I specialize in Transaction Sanction Screening with a primary focus on Wire Transfers and International ACH (IAT) Transactions, operating at the Level 1 (L1) Investigation and Review stage.
• My responsibilities involve the comprehensive review and investigation of transaction alerts flagged for potential sanctions risk.

Each alert is assessed thoroughly to determine the appropriate course of action based on the risk level.
• I perform in-depth due diligence to differentiate between false positives and true matches, making informed decisions to either close alerts or escalate them for further review. This involves the use of advanced screening tools such as Zendesk, LexisNexis Bridger Insight XG, and LexisNexis Risk Management Solutions, as well as external research via Google, state-verified business directories, and customer account reviews. My focus is on compiling robust documentary evidence to support each case decision and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Beyond core responsibilities, I also support the broader team during high-volume periods by assisting with process-related queries, enhancing workflow efficiency, and contributing to knowledge sharing. Despite being relatively new to this domain, I have quickly developed a strong command of the subject matter and demonstrated a keen investigative mindset.
