Role Summary
Payoneer is looking for a proactive, detail-oriented, and data-driven Card Transactions Monitoring Analyst to join our Fraud & Compliance Operations team. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong analytical and investigative skills with hands-on data capabilities.
You will be responsible for monitoring debit card transactions (physical and virtual) to detect fraud, assess AML risks, and support internal investigations. The role sits within the second line of defense, offering both strategic oversight and operational depth. You’ll be expected to work with complex datasets, identify patterns, draw data-driven conclusions based on user behavior, and clearly communicate your findings to stakeholders.
You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage alerts, analyze fraud and AML patterns, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements in a dynamic global environment. If you're experienced in compliance and fraud detection, have a background in data analysis, and enjoy driving operational excellence — this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
- Monitor and analyze debit card transactions (virtual and physical) to detect suspicious or fraudulent activity.
- Investigate fraud alerts and reports (e.g., chargebacks, card misuse, customer claims).
- Conduct research and provide data-driven analytical/risk insights using large datasets.
- Support AML-related investigations tied to card activity and customer behavior.
- Conduct enhanced due diligence (EDD) for card limit increase requests.
- Evaluate system-generated alerts and determine next steps based on data and risk indicators.
- Leverage data tools (SQL, Excel, BI tools) to identify trends and improve detection mechanisms.
- Optimize transaction monitoring processes and tools based on analytics and feedback.
- Ensure compliance with internal controls and regulatory frameworks.
- Prepare reports, dashboards, and summaries of fraud cases, trends, and escalations.
- Collaborate with global teams across Risk, Data, Compliance, and Operations functions.
Who You Are
- 2+ years of experience in Risk, Compliance, Fraud Operations, or related analytical roles.
- Proven experience with data analysis and using data to identify behavioral trends and anomalies.
- Proficiency in SQL – able to extract and analyze large datasets independently.
- Strong command of Excel; familiarity with BI tools (e.g., Looker, Power BI) is a plus.
- Sharp investigative mindset and strong analytical thinking.
- Strong communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
- Highly motivated, adaptable, and able to work in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent attention to detail while maintaining a broad risk perspective.
