Citi Fraud / Aml Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

I was asked about my past work history, my soft and hard skills. They also asked what Citi bank is all about and about the KYC process. I was then explained how the KYC process generally flows. It's an international process that spans across different countries.

First, your application and resume get screened to see if you meet the basic requirements. Then, there's an initial chat, usually a quick phone call, to check if you're interested, available, and what your salary expectations are. After that, you'll have a first interview, could be phone, video, or in-person, where they assess your skills, experience, how you communicate, and if you fit the team. If it's a role where hands-on skills matter, there might be a technical or skills assessment like a case study or role-specific task. Next up are panel interviews, which could be video or in-person with a few interviewers, diving deeper into your technical skills, how you handle situations, and your behavioral fit, maybe using the STAR method. Finally, you might meet with senior leadership to talk about cultural alignment and your long-term vision. Oh, and they'll do reference checks to verify your past performance.

2 rounds of interviews with compliance head and regional compliance head. It require working understanding of the AML/KYC in the banking industry. You need to understand OFAC quite well and have prior experience with transaction screening and STR filings.
