Anti Money Laundering Investigator Graduate

Wise is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe. 

Current banking systems don't let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply.

We’re creating a scalable, high performing platform for our customers. And we need smart graduates to join us in our mission.

Join the Wise Anti Money Laundering team as an Investigator, and solve cases with your inquisitive mind. After some initial guidance and training, you’ll quickly be responsible for investigating your own cases.

What the first six months will look like:

• Onboard and spend some time understanding your team and tribe’s vision. Once you know this, you’ll better understand how you can contribute
• Understand the set up, how yourteam works at Wise and what each team and tribe does. From Fraud to Anti Money Laundering teams - there are lots! Don’t worry, we’ll help you get acquainted
• Learn the main principles of AML and how things get investigated at Wise. Gain a better understanding of the theoretical frameworks and tools, before you go ahead and put them into practice

We’re people without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background. So if you’re passionate about learning new things and keen to join our mission, you’ll fit right in.

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we’d especially love to hear from you if you’re from an under-represented demographic.
