As MLRO & Director of Risk, Albert will play a key role in shaping and overseeing the CreatePay’s financial crime and credit risk strategy. He will be responsible for ensuring that our AML and counter-financial crime programmes continue to meet the highest regulatory standards, while also supporting our wider business objectives.
