Staff Profile
Jamie Farrell
Prior joining BNU in in 2023 I obtained over a decade of hands-on experience in law enforcement and risk management, bringing wealth of expertise to the realm of risk management. Transitioning from a dynamic policing career, where I held both uniform and detective roles, I ventured into academia to enhance my knowledge and skills, having obtained a Master's qualification at Staffordshire University in Terrorism, Crime and Global Security.
My journey led me to Nottingham Trent University, where I course led Master's level studies. This academic pursuit demanded astute stakeholder management on both national and international fronts, practice-based knowledge in leadership, international law enforcement and fraud investigation, along with strict adherence to academic policies and practices.
In my current role in banking, I leverage my proficiency in investigation, risk management, stakeholder relations, and analytics to provide strategic advice in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), due diligence, and Know Your Customer (KYC) principles. I play a pivotal role in the financial crime operations team, acting as a point of contact and subject matter expert for intricate cases.
Key Achievements:
- Published onboarding and in-life Customer Due Diligence (CDD) procedures adopted bank-wide.
- Designed and delivered bespoke risk training, elevating CDD Quality Assurance to over 95%.
- Conducted 'snapshot' training sessions for over 600 internal stakeholders, garnering a 94% satisfaction rate. My commitment to excellence in financial crime prevention is evident through these achievements, and I am passionate about making a positive impact in this ever-evolving field.
