Job description

Our Financial Crime team

Are you looking to start or continue building a career in financial crime prevention? We are looking for proven problem solvers to join our team as Business Banking Financial Crime Investigators and help us on our mission to make money work for everyone.

Youll play a key role by

• Analysing potentially unusual or suspicious behaviour on business accounts flagged by our transaction monitoring system and deciding what action (if any) Monzo should take.
• Documenting suspicious activity you identify in your role and sending it to the National Crime Agency to support them with their investigations.
• Reviewing account applications from new business customers.
• Locking down money that has been obtained through fraud so that it can be returned to victims.
• Closing business accounts when these is necessary and ensuring money is returned to the correct place.
• Responding to escalations about potential financial crime concerns on business accounts.
• You will initially be trained on a few tasks with upskilling to all tasks over time.

Wed love to hear from you if

• You have experience of handling challenging customer cases in a regulated industry or have existing operational fraud or financial crime experience (in retail or business banking).
• This might mean that you handle difficult complaints, investigate fraud or transaction disputes, make tough customer onboarding decisions, work with customers to build repayment plans, or review potential money laundering concerns.
• Well also consider any other relevant experience that would add value in this role.
• You are interested in learning about emerging trends in the world of financial crime.
• You love connecting dots, spotting patterns in data, and independently solving problems.
• You feel confident making difficult customer-impacting decisions.
• You’re great at explaining complex ideas simply and have strong written English.
• You are self-motivated and take ownership of your own performance to achieve your goals.
• You’re keen to invest in your personal development and continuous learning – we even support you in signing up for industry-recognised qualifications.

Although this role is advertised for Financial Crime Business Banking we may ask you to flex between our other Financial Crime pillars – Anti Money Laundering, Screening or Law Enforcement at any time. Which is great for your career and skill development and we always give you additional training whenever we ask you to take on new task types!

Start date - Monday 19th January 2026

Shifts

You’ll work 37.5 hours per week. This means you’ll work Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5:30 PM with a one hour lunch break. You’ll also work one full weekend (Saturday and Sunday) once every 5 weeks with 2 set days in lieu when working the weekend.

Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! Studies show that women and people of colour might hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. At Monzo we’re dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming team. If you’re passionate about this role and keen to learn and grow with us we encourage you to apply even if you don’t have everything that’s listed, just yet. Drop us your application – we love to hear from you!
