  • Assess client risk profiles and determine ongoing monitoring levels.
  • Manage suspension or closure of client accounts as needed.
  • Reactivate or refresh institutional client accounts.
  • Communicate effectively with sales and internal departments regarding onboarding matters.
  • Investigate financial crime suspicions and escalate findings appropriately.
  • Respond promptly to internal inquiries and resolve onboarding issues.
