At bunq, we’re more than a bank. We’re on a mission to make banking work for people wherever they live in Europe. With local IBANs, our users can pay rent, sign up for the gym and get paid like a local from day one. Every successful transaction is a step toward making them feel at home and letting us truly “Make Life Easy.”
Austria is next, and we need someone on the ground to make it happen. As our AML Manager Austria, you’ll be bunq’s accountable local owner of compliance in Austria. You’ll help bring bunq into the market through the EU passporting process, then run AML operations, integrity risk and financial crime reporting for the country. You won’t have a local team. Instead, you’ll build and use AI tools that let one person cover what a traditional bank staffs with a full department.
Think you’re up for the challenge? Join us in making a real impact on users’ lives while scaling AML operations across Europe 🚀
