Collect and review required account-opening information, including evidence of authority, authorized signers, tax documentation, organizational or court records, contact information, and completed bank forms. Confirm that required customer-identification, due-diligence, beneficial-ownership, sanctions-screening, and bank-specific documentation has been completed or routed to the authorized reviewer, as applicable. Receive and prepare outgoing wire requests only through approved channels and confirm the source account, beneficiary, receiving bank, routing or SWIFT information, account number, amount, currency, requested date, business purpose, and supporting documentation. Independently verify new or changed wire instructions using trusted contact information and approved callback or secondary-verification procedures; do not rely solely on instructions contained in an email.

Maintain complete checklists, status logs, approval records, verification evidence, bank confirmations, transaction references, and audit-ready documentation for every account and wire. Reconcile completed activity to approved requests and promptly investigate rejected, returned, delayed, duplicated, or incorrectly processed transactions. Protect confidential banking and personal information, use approved secure systems, and follow access-control, data-retention, and incident-reporting requirements. Maintain current standard operating procedures, job aids, templates, and control documentation, and support periodic access reviews, control testing, audits, and process improvements. Coordinate professionally with clients, Relationship Managers, Finance or Treasury approvers, banking partners, operations, and other authorized stakeholders. Use approved AI and automation tools only for low-risk administrative support, such as checklist preparation, status summaries, and procedure maintenance; never use AI to approve, authenticate, or release a wire.

Strong understanding of dual control, segregation of duties, authorization limits, independent verification, fraud prevention, and audit evidence.

Sound judgment and the confidence to pause or elevate a transaction when information, authority, or verification is incomplete. Clear and professional written and verbal communication with clients, financial institutions, and internal approvers. High discretion when handling confidential financial, personal, and account information. Excellent organization, documentation, reconciliation, and follow-through skills. Comfort using bank portals, spreadsheets, workflow or ticketing systems, document repositories, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace.
