Argentex is a global specialist in currency risk management and alternative banking solutions for businesses and financial institutions. Established in 2012 and headquartered in London, Argentex listed on London’s AIM market in mid-2019 and has since expanded to Amsterdam, Dubai, and Australia, supported by approximately 180 staff. We are an FCA regulated business.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly collaborative and diligent Institutional Onboarding Analyst to join our Onboarding team. This role is vital in ensuring Argentex complies with all regulatory requirements, focusing on alternative investment funds (AIFs) and other alternative transaction banking services.

The successful candidate will support the timely and compliant onboarding of funds and banking clients by assisting in implementing and monitoring compliance policies, especially regarding anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and cross-border regulatory requirements.

This role requires a strong understanding of alternative banking and investment fund structures, working closely with internal teams to mitigate risks and ensure adherence to global financial regulations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct comprehensive KYC/CDD investigations on new clients, including enhanced due diligence for high-risk clients.
• Screen clients using automated tools, investigating and escalating potential sanctions or PEP matches.
• Verify client identification, proof of address, and source of funds/wealth documentation.
• Perform regular risk assessments, especially around cross-border transactions and AIF structures, and recommend risk mitigation strategies.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities within the client portfolio, focusing on reactivations and referrals.
• Assess client risk profiles and determine ongoing monitoring levels.
• Manage suspension or closure of client accounts as needed.
• Complete reactivation or refresh of institutional client accounts.
• Communicate effectively with sales teams and internal departments regarding onboarding matters.
• Investigate Financial Crime suspicions, escalate findings for internal review.
• Respond promptly to internal inquiries and resolve onboarding issues.

Who are we looking for?

• At least 2 years’ experience in compliance, focusing on alternative transaction banking or investment funds.
• Knowledge of Financial Crime trends, AI, and technology developments.
• Deep understanding of FCA regulations, MiFID II, AIFMD, AML/CFT rules, and relevant financial regulations.
• Experience in fast-paced, collaborative environments.
• Operational knowledge of transaction products processed for clients.

Inclusion

At Argentex, diversity and inclusion are core values. We believe diverse teams drive innovation and resilience. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds, even if they meet some but not all criteria—potential and growth are valued.
