Recruitment context

This is a new position created to support the KYC team in managing a growing client portfolio and accelerating file processing times. We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running and be fully operational.

Manager & Team

You will report to Sylvain Le François, KYC Team Lead, and work closely with the Sales, Account Management, and broader Compliance teams across Europe.

The Due Diligence team (KYC + Transaction Monitoring) is made up of ~20 people, with the KYC sub-team consisting of 8 analysts based across Paris, London, Bucharest, and Sofia.

What will you do?

As a KYC Analyst, you will play a key role in iBanFirst's compliance process by verifying and validating customer identities, assessing risk levels, and contributing to the security and integrity of our ecosystem.

Main responsibilities:

Review and verify client identity documentation (KYC/KYB) for new and existing clients
Perform due diligence on corporate clients: financial history, business activity, ownership structure
Evaluate transaction behavior and assess risk classification at onboarding and during periodic reviews

What do you bring?

1 to 3 years of experience in KYC, compliance, or a related field (banking, fintech, insurance, notarial, or legal sectors)
Strong attention to detail and rigor in document analysis
Autonomous and proactive: able to manage tasks independently, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines
Receptive to feedback and collaborative mindset — this team works closely together
Curious and investigative: you enjoy digging into documentation and spotting inconsistencies
Bilingual in French and English — daily meetings and documentation are in English
