The Transaction Surveillance Officer monitors customer and payment activity for unusual or potentially suspicious transactions, reviews system-generated alerts, conducts investigations, documents findings, and escalates cases in line with UOB policies and Thai regulatory requirements. Candidates typically need a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, business, law, or a related field, along with experience in transaction monitoring, AML, fraud prevention, compliance, or banking operations. Knowledge of AML/CTF regulations, sanctions screening, KYC principles, and investigative techniques is valuable. Strong analytical, report-writing, communication, and English-language skills are expected, together with sound judgment, attention to detail, confidentiality, and the ability to meet deadlines in a controlled, high-volume environment.
United Overseas Bank (UOB) is a major Singapore-headquartered bank with operations across Southeast Asia, including Thailand. Established in 1935, the group provides personal and business banking, corporate and commercial banking, wealth management, investment banking, treasury, and transaction services. UOB serves consumers, small and medium-sized businesses, large corporations, and institutional clients through branches, digital channels, and regional offices. Its Thailand business supports local and international customers with banking, financing, cash-management, and trade-related services. The bank places strong emphasis on responsible banking, risk management, regulatory compliance, customer service, and digital transformation. Employees may work in multicultural, regional teams and gain exposure to cross-border financial activity. The position is likely based in Bangkok and forms part of the bank's control framework for detecting financial crime and protecting the integrity of its payment and banking systems.
Thailand offers opportunities in banking, compliance, finance, technology, tourism, manufacturing, and international business, with Bangkok serving as the main professional hub. Island destinations such as Phuket, Koh Samui, and Koh Chang provide a slower lifestyle, beaches, outdoor activities, and sizable expatriate communities, although specialist banking jobs are more concentrated in Bangkok. Thai culture values politeness, respect for elders, family, and social harmony; learning basic Thai is helpful. Living costs vary, with Bangkok and Phuket generally more expensive than smaller towns. Employees should expect hot, humid weather and a mixture of modern city life and traditional customs. Foreign nationals normally need an appropriate Non-Immigrant B visa and a work permit arranged with employer support before working legally. Applicants should verify qualifications, document requirements, tax obligations, healthcare arrangements, and relocation benefits with UOB. Housing, transport, schools, and international communities are widely available in Bangkok.
