1. JAC MARÉ
I am a motivated, conscientious and personable individual who is currently
employed in the Anti Money Laundering Exits and Investigations Team at the Royal
Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh. My area of interest lies in the study of current
AML/CFT affairs, laws and regulations and their impact on the financial sector.
A South African citizen with permanent residency status in the United Kingdom, I
have lived and worked in the Edinburgh area since 2000 and I’m currently looking
to further my career within a financial crime environment.

Relevant experience and skills
I am currently working in the AML exits team where
we exit customer relationships posing Money
Laundering and/or Terrorist Financing concerns. In an
effort to protect RBS and its customers, we follow
a risk-based approach to AML/CTF in accordance
with FATF Recommendation 1, ensuring compliance
with legislation related to the Terrorist Act 2000,
POCA 2002, Money Laundering Regulations 2007
and the European Union 4th AML Directive 2015. I
have an extensive knowledge of the customer exits
process, internal RBS AML policy as well as a good
understanding of the relevant national regulatory
exit requirements. Over the last year, I have been the
nominated team member responsible for notifying and
liaising with our FCIIU department in all AML customer
exits, as well as notifying all divisions of risk appetite
customer relationships due to be ended as having
been identified as outside our measure of acceptable
risk appetite. Having responsibility for overseeing the
distribution process, I also identify risks and update
the process to comply with regulatory requirements.
One of my many duties is to liaise with our FCIIU
and Investigations teams to ensure all regulatory
requirements are met before initiating and processing
the exits. My knowledge of AML processes and
regulatory requirements is also well complemented by
distinguished communications, decision-making and
problem-solving skills. I am currently enrolled in
the industry-leading ICA International Advanced
Certificate in Anti Money Laundering, which is due to
conclude with an examination in September 2016.
Future goals and objectives
I would like to further develop my analytical and
research skills, as well as improve my knowledge
of compliance within legal and regulatory AML/CFT
frameworks.
