About Mbah Mbah

A Fraud, AML and KYC Analyst with a Bachelor\'s degree in Accounting and over 5 years of experience in financial risk management, I am skilled in deploying advanced data analysis and fraud detection techniques to enhance compliance with banking regulations. At American Express, I conduct time-sensitive and meticulous investigations of suspicious fraud and financial activity, utilizing various research and analytical tools. I have reduced false positives and improved system accuracy by enhancing fraud detection methods. I also ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to fraud prevention by evaluating internal control systems.Previously, I worked as an AML Compliance Analyst at BNY Mellon and Morgan Stanley, where I conducted thorough investigations of suspicious financial transactions to identify potential money laundering activities and ensured compliance with regulatory requirements. I performed customer due diligence by analyzing customer profiles, transactions, and other data to identify and report suspicious activities. I also implemented Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) on accounts and related parties, leveraging several investigative tools such as DDIQ, RDC, Compliance Link, Lexis Nexis, World Compliance Check, and Google.I am eager to apply my visionary insights and strategic acumen to lead initiatives that preemptively combat money laundering and support organizational integrity. I am motivated by the challenge and the opportunity to make a positive impact on the financial sector and society.
