You’ll be the first line of defense, verifying identities, checking documents, and making sure every customer plays by the rules. Speed matters, but precision is king.

True hits get escalated with clarity; false positives get cleared with finesse. Accuracy isn’t optional; it’s your ticket to keeping both customers happy and audits stress-free. This isn’t just clicking “approve” all day. You’ll explain missing info to clients, record notes, and maintain trackers so clean that even auditors smile. It’s part investigator, part teacher, all about keeping the business compliant and agile.
