Sanctions monitoring








Sanctions Monitoring is the department within Financial Economic Crime (FEC) that pays particular attention to countries with a high risk of sanctions. This means, countries where there is trade that may violate laws against financial crime.
As an analyst within this department, you investigate and manage risks. You prevent companies from becoming involved in a financial-economic crime. With your work, you will directly contribute to the fight against money laundering, terrorism, human trafficking, war financing and impure trade flows.
You keep our financial system healthy
An analyst at Sanctions Monitoring is inquisitive and curious. A field of work that is so topical requires a person who can respond to change. Like yourself, your field is always evolving. Your role as an analyst is twofold: on the one hand you research and analyze risks, and on the other hand you are in frequent contact with clients to make them aware of these risks.
You will conduct complex research and prepare reviews in the context of two important laws: the Sanctions law and regulations and the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism Act. With this work, you make an important contribution to keeping our financial system healthy

Sanctions are a hot topic in financial service
When the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, the Sanctions department immediately went on high alert. Robbert van Helden, Medior Analyst: “We were receiving such urgent reports of sanctions breaches that our team was told to drop everything and focus entirely on this issue. That made me realize just how much impact my job has.”
