Role Summary

Payoneer is looking for a proactive, detail-oriented, and data-driven Card Transactions Monitoring Analyst to join our Fraud & Compliance Operations team. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong analytical and investigative skills with hands-on data capabilities.

You will be responsible for monitoring debit card transactions (physical and virtual) to detect fraud, assess AML risks, and support internal investigations.

You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage alerts, analyze fraud and AML patterns, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements in a dynamic global environment. If you're experienced in compliance and fraud detection, have a background in data analysis, and enjoy driving operational excellence — this role is for you.
