Wise Fraud / Aml Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process took about three months to get to the second stage. First, my CV was screened, then I did an online test. After the test, I waited a bit over two months for the first interview. The first interview was with HR and it went really well. The recruiter was super nice, patient, and respectful the whole time. They kept me updated and gave feedback at every step, which was great and made me feel comfortable. The interview was pretty standard, asking questions to get to know me and my knowledge for the role. The second stage was with the hiring manager and another team member. We also did a live online investigation test that felt relevant to the job. After the test, they introduced themselves and their work, then I talked more about myself. The conversation shifted to personal and behavioral questions. This stage was also easygoing. Overall, the process was organized, clear, and respectful. Even with the longer waits between some parts, it was a good experience and showed they really cared about candidates.

The whole process was surprisingly fast and well-structured. I first completed an online test, which focused on analytical skills and basic understanding of compliance. After that, I had two interviews. The recruiter and hiring managers were excellent — very professional, objective, and respectful. The interviews were straightforward, with questions about my experience, how I deal with fast-changing guidelines, prioritization of tasks, and real-life situations involving feedback. They also asked about KYC, Due Diligence, financial crime typologies, and red flags for both individual and business clients. It was clear that they value transparency, ownership, and customer-first mindset, which align well with the company culture. Overall, I felt the process was human, fair, and well designed to understand how you think rather than just memorize concepts. A very positive experience.

I had a screening, then a test with a deadline of about 3 days. After that, I had an interview with a recruiter who was based in a different country than where I applied. This interview was really short and focused on the company, the role, and salary expectations. Finally, I interviewed with the hiring manager. They were really nice and asked for more details about my qualifications and for examples of how I handled difficult situations at work, and why I thought I was a good fit. The interview itself was okay, but I didn't get any email response until I sent a follow-up, even though they said I'd be contacted very soon. I was told someone else got the position and was asked if I was interested in another role. I said yes, but then I was ghosted.
