What is the difference between Aml Risk vs Compliance Analyst?

AspectAml RiskCompliance Analyst
Required CredentialsCertifications like CAMS, CRCMCertifications like CCEP, CAMS (optional)
Work EnvironmentFinancial institutions, banks, fintechsFinancial institutions, corporations, regulatory agencies
Employer & Industry UsageFocus on anti-money laundering and fraud preventionBroader compliance tasks including AML, KYC, and regulatory adherence

While both roles involve regulatory compliance, Aml Risk specialists focus specifically on anti-money laundering measures, risk assessment, and transaction monitoring. Compliance Analysts handle a wider range of compliance functions, including AML, KYC, and other regulatory requirements. The roles often overlap but differ in scope and specialization within the compliance field.

What are some typical challenges faced by AML Risk professionals when working with cross-functional teams?

AML Risk professionals often collaborate with compliance, legal, operations, and IT teams to detect and prevent financial crimes. A common challenge is ensuring that all teams have a consistent understanding of regulatory requirements and internal risk policies. Differences in priorities or technical language can also create communication gaps, so strong interpersonal skills and the ability to translate complex regulations into actionable steps are crucial. Building trust and maintaining open lines of communication with cross-functional partners is essential for effective risk management.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an AML Risk analyst?

To thrive as an AML Risk Analyst, you need a solid understanding of anti-money laundering regulations, risk assessment, and financial crime detection, usually supported by a degree in finance, law, or a related field. Familiarity with AML monitoring software, databases (such as World-Check or Actimize), and certifications like CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) are commonly required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help professionals excel in identifying suspicious activities and collaborating with compliance teams. These skills are essential to ensure regulatory compliance, safeguard institutions from financial crime, and maintain the integrity of the financial system.

What is an AML Risk analyst?

An AML (Anti-Money Laundering) Risk Analyst is a financial professional responsible for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks related to money laundering and terrorist financing within an organization. They analyze customer transactions, monitor for suspicious activities, and ensure compliance with regulations such as the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act. AML Risk Analysts also develop and implement policies to detect and prevent illegal financial activities, working closely with compliance teams and regulatory authorities.

Job description

It Starts With Our Employees

FourLeaf's ultimate goal is to provide the best-in-class member and employee experience, and it all begins with two things: hiring incredible people and giving them a great place to work.

What You’ll Do

The BSA/AML Case Analyst is responsible for conducting and dispositioning mid-risk and continuation case investigations using a risk-based approach within Verafin, performing detailed research and documentation to determine whether activity can be mitigated or requires a SAR filing. This role includes writing SARs, escalating high-risk cases to leadership, and ensuring thorough record retention for audits and regulatory reviews.

This opportunity is open to flexible work options including a hybrid or remote set up.

Core Contributions

  • Investigate Tier 1 Cases and manual referrals using Verafin’s BSA/AML monitoring system, incorporating internet research, database queries, negative media screening, and internal system reviews.
  • Determine whether identified activity is suspicious, and if so, assess the level of BSA/AML risk. Provide recommendations to management on whether activity should be escalated for law enforcement referral or reviewed for potential account closure.
  • Coordinate with various business lines including Retail Banking, Business Banking, Fraud, Legal, and Regulatory Compliance, to gather supporting information and properly disposition cases.
  • Issue Requests for Information (RFIs) to internal business partners in Retail Banking, to validate or substantiate member activity.
  • Write and submit Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Continuing Activity SARs within Verafin, ensuring accuracy and compliance with FinCEN requirements and internal deadlines.
  • Escalate any high-risk cases (e.g., terrorism, human trafficking, negative media, employee account concerns) immediately to the BSA/AML Compliance Officer or Assistant Manager BSA/AML High Risk Operations.
  • Assist in processing 314(a) and 314(b) information-sharing requests in accordance with FinCEN guidelines, including validating request legitimacy and documenting all shared information.
  • Provide subject matter expertise and training support to junior analysts, specialists, or contractors.
  • Stay current on regulatory developments and participate in ongoing BSA/AML training. Support the BSA/AML Compliance Officer in ensuring FourLeaf’s compliance and reducing risk exposure.
  • Perform additional duties or special projects as assigned by management in support of the BSA/AML program and broader compliance functions.

Assets You Will Bring

  • Bachelor’s Degree preferred or equivalent experience.
  • 3+ Years of experience working in a relevant field (i.e. BSA/AML, law enforcement, fraud, forensic accounting, or financial crime compliance) required.

  • At least 1 year of previous SAR writing experience required.
  • CAMS or qualified to apply and obtain CAMS certification within 6 months.
  • Verafin and Fiserv DNA experience (a plus, not required).

The estimated salary for this role is $31.93 to $38.32 per hour. (FourLeaf Federal Credit Union offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision coverage; life and disability insurance; voluntary benefit programs; a 401(k) plan with employer match; reimbursement and wellness programs; and an annual performance-based bonus.) In addition to the salary or hourly rate listed above there may be other compensation & benefits available.
