• Support governance processes, including preparation of materials for Board and Committee meetings.

Advisory & Business Partnering

• Act as a trusted adviser to operational, product, risk, AML, prepaid, and commercial teams.
• Deliver compliance training tailored to payments, e‑money, AML/CTF, and CBI requirements.
• Ensure compliance considerations are integrated early in product and operational design
