KBC Global Services provides business administrative processes and activities for members of KBC Group worldwide. We aim to create a friendly, dynamic, and professional company culture that encourages a high level of performance, personal initiative, and responsibility.
You will become a member of Central Acceptance Unit (CAU) team which performs a thorough, regulatory, and reputational screening of Financial Institutions and Public Authorities from all over the world. This screening, known as Know Your Customer (KYC), is an obligatory requirement for a counterparty (ctp) to be permitted to enter into a commercial relationship with KBC. The refusal/acceptance of the counterparty + the assessed Risk profile is documented in our internal systems incl. the evidentiary documents and other data.
Responsibilities:
• Your main responsibility will be to complete the whole process of KYC screening of new counterparties as well as a periodical review of existing ones.
• To get the required documents you will consult different trustworthy online sources such as BankersAlmanac, WorldCheck, official regulatory websites, and other professional databases. In most cases, you will also directly contact the ctp via email, SWIFT message, or phone call.
• You will also use public online sources to investigate counterparties´ financial reputations, e.g. Google search for the negative hits connected with money laundering, corruption, or terrorist financing.
• The result of your screening is either a refusal or an acceptance of a counterparty together with a proposal of Risk profile – you will submit the assessment to the authorities in Brussels (Relationship Manager + Compliance dept.) who will ultimately decide on the final approval of the ctp´s acceptance.
• You will communicate via email on a daily basis to discuss your cases with your colleagues; you will interact with the internal stakeholders using skype conferences; you will present your complex cases at the management committee.
Expectations:
• University degree or relevant experience.
