Senior Client Onboarding Associate (Private Banking)

Roles & Responsibilities

What you'll do :

As a Senior Client Onboarding Associate based in Singapore, you will play a crucial role in facilitating smooth onboarding journeys for clients while safeguarding the organisation’s compliance posture. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve close collaboration with Client Relationship Officers as you gather, review, and validate essential client information. You will apply your expertise in KYC / AML processes to assess documentation such as identity verification materials, source of wealth statements, and adverse news reports. By maintaining up-to-date records in internal systems and proactively managing your workload against set targets, you will help ensure that every client is onboarded efficiently yet thoroughly. Your ability to identify potential risks early on will be key in protecting both clients’ interests and organisational integrity. In this role, your focus on accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to evolving regulatory standards will make you an indispensable member of a high-performing team.

• Collaborate closely with Client Relationship Officers to collect, analyse, and verify comprehensive client information in accordance with internal procedures as well as external regulatory requirements.
• Conduct thorough KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) reviews by gathering data from public sources and internal stakeholders, ensuring all documentation is accurate and complete.
• Support the implementation of new regulatory developments by staying informed about changes affecting regulated firms within the private banking sector.
• Contribute positively to a culture of continuous improvement by sharing insights on process enhancements and best practices with colleagues.
• Ensure all actions taken are fully documented in line with strict process requirements, maintaining clear records for future reference.
