Overview

At Lupa, we're hiring for a FinCrime Analyst to join a fast-growing fintech that's revolutionizing cross-border payments across Latin America. This is a front-line role in financial crime prevention where your work directly protects customers and strengthens the integrity of a rapidly scaling payments platform.

You'll investigate suspicious activity, refine transaction monitoring processes, and respond to regulatory requests, all while helping build out a robust AML framework. If you're detail-oriented, hands-on, and passionate about the intersection of fintech and compliance, this is a role where you'll make a real, measurable impact.

What You'll Do

- Investigate and analyze KYC alerts related to biometric mismatches, fake documents, and irregular IDs using KYC software such as Jumio and Persona to detect fraudulent activity.
- Conduct investigations on PEP (Politically Exposed Persons), Sanctions, and Warnings alerts, ensuring proper risk assessment and regulatory compliance.
- Review, enhance, and optimize transaction monitoring processes to improve detection and reporting of suspicious activity.
- Investigate unusual transactional behavior — such as structuring, layering, or irregular cross-border transfers — and escalate as needed.
- Respond to requests from regulatory authorities in a timely, accurate, and compliant manner (with support from the Compliance Officer).
- Collaborate with compliance, risk,



and operations teams to strengthen AML controls and ensure adherence to internal policies.
- Monitor financial crime trends and patterns, using insights to refine AML procedures and prevention mechanisms.
- Stay current with evolving AML regulations, industry best practices, and local and international compliance requirements.

Who You Are Must-haves

- Fluency in English (written and oral) — essential for handling compliance matters, liaising with authorities, and collaborating across internal teams.
- Ability to investigate and analyze KYC discrepancies, including experience with biometric mismatches, fake documents, and tools such as Jumio and Persona.
- Strong knowledge of AML and financial crime risks, including transaction monitoring, typologies, and fraud detection.
- A hands-on, results-driven mindset — willing to dive deep into investigations and take ownership of strengthening AML frameworks.

Nice-to-haves

- Experience in Compliance, AML, or Financial Fraud Investigations.
- Experience in Fintech or Financial Services.
- Familiarity with digital payments and the regulatory challenges of fast-scaling financial institutions.

What's In It For You

- Competitive salary.
- Monthly unlimited cash bonus (KPI-based).
- Discretionary performance bonus.
- Paid annual leave.
- The latest technology to work with.
- A strong, collaborative team that will help you grow and sharpen your skills.
- A contract structured to your country, including statutory benefits by law.
