AML/Compliance/KYC professionals come in!

I have a degree in comms. Not related to biz/bank. Can I get into compliance role? And if not, is there an alternative route?

Hi, can anybody advice if "ICA Cert of professional in governance,risk & compliance" is better or "ACAMS" ? currently i'm a deg holder & have 1 year experience as a "maker". Thinking of getting one of the cert as i'm hoping for better chance to get into other banks as 'checker'.

Hi! I'm a foreigner looking for a job in SG. I have total of 5 yrs experience in KYC, transaction monitoring and fraud management from various banks and fintech companies. With this experience, how much is minimum salary I can ask at par with industry standard? I only earn around SGD1200 with these jobs in my country so I have no idea how much to ask. Thank you!

Hi, just want to ask for advice from seniors here.

Is it wise to take up a role thats covers many parts of compliance(Aml,kyc,regulatory,risk etc)in a very small bank (To learn more stuff)or should I take up an offer doing just one part of compliance in another huge bank(Specialised role)

Fyi, I am only 1.5 years old in the industry.

Will the brand name of the small bank(less than 50 headcount) be bad for the resume?
Is having a specialised role better instead of being a jack of all trades?

Knowledge of tamil is a must as most of our customers do not speak Chinese. Some speak English.

Most banking in Singapore is conducted in English. Chinese and Tamil are used only outside banks.
