Overview
Transaction Screening is a team in Financial Crime Surveillance and Operations (FCSO). The team reviews standard sanctioned screening of incoming and outgoing electronic messages and transactions using pre‑defined criteria to support compliance with SCB Group procedures concerning sanctioned parties or countries. Members must have sanctions and screening surveillance skills and be able to analyse and evaluate information from disperse data sources to determine a course of action. Experience in banking operations (Client Due Diligence, International Trade, Payments, Financial Markets, etc.) and a service‑oriented attitude with excellent English communication are required.
