Christopher Peychev

Senior EDD/AML Specialist
Sliema,56

Summary

In my professional journey, I have consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to remaining at the forefront of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, covering a wide array of online gambling jurisdictions, totaling nine in number.

This extensive experience has equipped me with a comprehensive grasp of AML regulations, including expertise in Enhanced Due Diligence checks, verification of source of funds and income, risk assessment, AML analysis, real-time transaction monitoring, and the compilation and submission of Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). Beyond my AML proficiency, I have demonstrated proficiency in a variety of back-office systems, numerous payment providers, and fraud detection/verification tools.

I also have a solid grasp of igaming-related open banking solutions and investigative tools. My unwavering dedication to compliance, risk reduction, and the prevention of financial crimes has resulted in successful roles, such as serving as an Enhanced Due Diligence Specialist at LeoVegas Group. In this capacity, I skillfully managed intricate AML tasks and reporting obligations across multiple jurisdictions.

Additionally, I made substantial contributions as an Anti-Money Laundering Analyst, where I conducted ongoing monitoring and played a pivotal role in enhancing internal procedures.

I am passionate about upholding the highest standards of compliance, reporting, and due diligence. My meticulous approach to meeting regulatory requirements, coupled with my aptitude for adapting to new systems and tools, positions me as a valuable asset in the ever-evolving landscape of online gambling.
