The Senior Officer supports UOB’s Transactions Surveillance Team within Group Compliance by reviewing transaction-monitoring alerts, investigating potentially suspicious activity, documenting findings and escalating cases in line with internal policies and regulatory requirements. Candidates are generally expected to have a degree, relevant experience in transaction monitoring, AML, sanctions screening, compliance investigations or financial crime prevention, and a sound understanding of Singapore regulations. Strong analytical, investigative and report-writing skills are important, along with attention to detail, sound judgement, confidentiality and the ability to manage deadlines. Familiarity with transaction-monitoring systems, banking products and Microsoft Office is advantageous.

The bank places strong emphasis on responsible banking, risk management, regulatory compliance, technology and long-term customer relationships.

Singapore is a major regional centre for banking, fintech, technology, logistics, healthcare and professional services, creating opportunities for compliance, risk, data, operations and financial-crime specialists. The culture is multicultural, efficient and business-oriented, with English widely used at work. Lifestyle options range from modern shopping districts and diverse food centres to beaches, parks, museums and lively neighbourhoods. Public transport is extensive, reliable and usually the easiest way to commute, although housing and daily expenses can be high. Foreign professionals normally need an employer-sponsored work pass, commonly an Employment Pass or S Pass, subject to salary, qualifications and government assessment. Relocating employees should arrange accommodation, medical coverage, banking and tax registration, and understand employment-pass conditions before arrival. Singapore’s compact size, safety and strong infrastructure make it convenient for professionals, while nearby Southeast Asian destinations offer easy weekend travel.
