Amit Kumar
Senior Analyst II
My career began in the Fintech industry, specializing in fraud and cybercrime investigations, where I developed a solid foundation in risk analysis, regulatory compliance, and investigative techniques. Motivated by a desire to deepen my impact in financial security, I transitioned into Anti-Money Laundering (AML), a field where I could apply my investigative skills to a wider range of financial crime prevention.
This transition involved dedicated skill-building in AML essentials, such as KYC, Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), and transaction monitoring. I took a strategic approach to stay current with regulatory changes, industry trends, and emerging threats, recognizing the importance of continuous learning in a rapidly evolving field.
Collaborating with AML RightSource has been crucial in this journey, providing opportunities to work on diverse projects with Fintechs and banks. This experience enabled me to apply my background in fraud investigations while learning best practices unique to the AML space. I also connected with seasoned AML professionals, gaining valuable insights and practical guidance that further strengthened my expertise.
AML RightSource’s commitment to professional development, combined with opportunities for leadership growth, has been instrumental in my success. Today, my adaptable approach and focus on innovation continue to shape my career, allowing me to help organisations navigate the complex AML landscape.
