The Opportunity: Build the Future of APAC Risk Management
As PingPong's APAC business expands into new markets and complex segments like B2B trade and corporate services, the nature of financial crime risk has become increasingly sophisticated. This is a unique opportunity to be a foundational member of a specialized team, shaping the future of how we manage risk across the diverse and dynamic APAC region.
As a Financial Crime Analyst, you will be at the forefront of protecting PingPong and its customers from illicit activities. You will move beyond routine transaction monitoring to conduct in-depth, account-level reviews and investigations into the unique risk typologies of APAC markets—from trade-based money laundering (TBML) in B2B supply chains to sophisticated fraud networks in emerging e-commerce corridors. This role is critical to ensuring the integrity of our platform and enabling sustainable growth.
What You'll Do: Responsibilities
Account-Level Review & Analysis:
- Conduct comprehensive Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for high-risk merchants during onboarding and throughout their lifecycle.
- Perform data-driven periodic and event-triggered reviews on APAC merchant accounts to ensure their activity remains consistent with their business profile.
- Make and document clear, risk-based decisions on account restrictions, closures, or escalations, ensuring a balance between risk mitigation and commercial enablement.
Investigation & Case Management:
- Lead deep-dive investigations into complex financial crime cases, including suspected fraud networks, TBML schemes, related-account clusters, and sanctions evasion.
- Utilize a range of internal data and external intelligence (OSINT) to perform document forensics, map relationships, and build a complete picture of suspicious activity.
- Prepare high-quality investigation reports and evidence packages to support regulatory filings (SAR/STR) and inform senior management.
Ongoing Monitoring & Intelligence:
- Proactively monitor the APAC merchant portfolio to identify emerging risk patterns, new fraud typologies, and systemic vulnerabilities.
- Collaborate with global risk and data teams to develop and refine APAC-specific transaction monitoring rules and risk models.
- Serve as a subject matter expert on the financial crime risks specific to key APAC markets (e.g., Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea), sharing insights with in-market and HQ teams.
