Customer Sales Agent (Pakistan or Bangladesh)

Who we are:

Mama Money is a growth stage fintech startup working to help migrant workers in South Africa send money home. Since 2015 we have been providing reliable remittances, at a socially fair price, to those that need it most.

Mama HQ is in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. We are 131 people strong (and counting) from 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the UK, and Europe. Our culture is built around the well-being of our team members and making a difference in our communities. “Just be lekker!” personifies our approach to work: we trust the wisdom of our talented and diverse team to do what is best for our customers and get the job done responsibly, without pedantic policies.

We’ve been around since 2015 and have earned a few accolades along the way, made some new friends, and expanded our reach. We've had some great times and some tough times but we continue to focus on helping people rather than maximising profit.

We’re looking for an experienced leader who has acquired considerable expertise in compliance, governance, and the financial regulation field, with a strong focus on AML and international money transfer. You will ensure that Mama Money, its affiliates, its customers and its partners are protected from any damage that might result from the failure to comply with regulatory obligations and our own internal procedures regarding Financial Crime while taking into account our risk appetite. You will ensure we keep improving our frameworks and processes. You will report to the co-founder.
