Surja Wairokpam

I am a dedicated BFSI professional with over two years of hands-on experience in financial crime operations, KYC compliance, and anti-money laundering. My career has been built on a foundation of regulatory diligence, analytical thinking, and a genuine commitment to protecting financial institutions from risk.financial crime operations — specifically KYC, AML, CDD, fraud investigation, and merchant onboarding within the BFSI sector.

Currently working as a Financial Crime Operations Associate Analyst at WNS Global Services, I conduct due diligence checks for new customer onboarding and periodic reviews, ensuring full compliance with AML and KYC standards. My day-to-day work involves examining customer files, evaluating trigger-event documents, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver accurate, timely financial crime checks. I take pride in maintaining up-to-date knowledge of evolving regulatory requirements and applying that knowledge to real-world compliance challenges.

Prior to this, I worked as a Process Associate at Suntec India, where I developed expertise in counterfeit and copyright detection, website impersonation, anti-piracy enforcement, document verification, and data analysis. This role sharpened my ability to identify fraud patterns, assess risk across digital platforms, and communicate findings clearly using tools like Salesforce.

My academic background in Computer Science and Engineering from Manipur Institute of Technology gives me a strong analytical edge. I am comfortable working with Python, SQL, and MS Excel — skills I apply to streamline reporting and improve operational efficiency. This technical foundation, combined with my compliance experience, allows me to approach financial crime from both a process-driven and data-informed perspective.

What drives me is the intersection of integrity and impact. Financial crime — whether money laundering, identity fraud, or document forgery — causes real harm, and I believe that rigorous compliance work is one of the most meaningful contributions a professional can make in the banking sector. I am detail-oriented, adaptable under pressure, and committed to delivering error-free outcomes even in high-volume environments.

I am multilingual, fluent in English, Hindi, and Manipuri, which supports effective communication in diverse team settings. I am actively looking to grow within the financial crime and risk management space, deepen my expertise in areas like enhanced due diligence and SAR filing, and contribute to organisations that take compliance seriously.

I am open to new opportunities and collaborations in AML, KYC, fraud investigation, and broader financial crime operations.
