AML/Compliance/KYC professionals come in!

Credit Suisse is for university graduates. BNP is for mostly poly graduates.

Pay is obviously different

U mean ur in front office doing DD and want to go to compliance for monitoring and surveillance? Then it's possible but hire u as almost fresh grad equivalent.

If ur in aml, Usually it's the other way round. We want to join due di advisory from monitoring and surveillance.

Typically how to get such a role?

How is the salary compared to other compliance?

Start by taking contract roles in compliance. Then work hard and smart and people will want to convert u to perm.

Regulatory compliance or AML also same way in as above.

HAHA. I hope you were attempting to troll, because if that's what you really know of the industry, you are never getting far.

It is not easy. Typically they only look at experienced personnel within the Compliance space, not restricted to Regulatory. I have seen the one or two fresh grads that managed to get into Reg Compliance but they have stellar results and internships.

I'm assuming you are leaning towards the track of transactions monitoring. Some banks call it the Surveillance team, some simply call it Transactions Monitoring, some have fancy acronyms for it, but it's all referring to the same thing, and yes it sits within Compliance.

This function do look at fresh grad applicants, shop around the banks websites and job portals, you might get lucky. I think there's definitely prospects within Compliance right now, the money is higher than an average back office role and there's security as well.

Can a person with no relevant experience, other than difficult, get into compliance?
Or does he at least need to have compliance certification, before he can do compliance?
