AML Intelligence & Investigations Analyst
Are you an experienced financial crime professional with a strong investigative mindset and a proven ability to independently identify emerging risks? Do you thrive in complex environments where curiosity, critical thinking, and high-quality analysis are valued? Then you might be the one we are looking for!
Banking Circle is a fully licensed, technology enabled bank processing over €1 trillion in payments every year - and growing. We exist to power the global economy’s most ambitious payments businesses with infrastructure that is fast, modern, and engineered for scale. Today, more than 800 people across 11 countries work together as one global team. We move fast, we think boldly, and we build with intent - because our clients depend on us to keep pace with the world’s most dynamic payments flows. We are expanding globally, scaling our capabilities, and deepening our impact, so if you want to shape the future of financial infrastructure - this is the place.
Your team welcomes you with open arms As our new AML Intelligence & Investigations Analyst in Warsaw or London, you will join a collaborative and highly analytical environment where initiative, independent thinking, and professional curiosity are encouraged. The team works across complex financial crime risks, combining intelligence development, investigative analysis, open-source research, and transactional insight to support informed risk decisions across the bank.
This is not a process-driven monitoring role. We are looking for someone capable of conducting high-quality intelligence work with minimal supervision; confidently forming analytical judgments, and producing clear, well-structured reporting that adds value to senior stakeholders. The role will initially focus more heavily on intelligence development, while also supporting complex investigations as required. Over time, both areas will form an equal part of the position.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
