Transaction Monitoring Team Lead

Millions of people across Europe want better ways to build long-term wealth, but traditional investing often feels complex or out of reach.

Mintos is solving that. We've built a platform that makes investing in income-generating assets simple, transparent, and accessible. And we're expanding fast.

As our Transaction Monitoring Team Lead , you'll lead a team of experienced analysts who review alerts and investigate unusual activity, helping ensure our AML/CTF framework meets both today's regulatory expectations and the standards required of a future bank.
