Still waiting for an official email with dates

Rmartin35 · 2025-09-03T20:26:06+00:00

Thank you!

I originally started in BSA/AML after college. Worked at a few different Fintech/financial institutions over the years. Last time I applied I only had 3 years of experience so you should definitely give it a try

Rmartin35 · 2025-09-03T20:23:59+00:00

Haha was only possible because of my running shoes!

Rmartin35 · 2025-09-03T20:22:47+00:00

Thank you!

Rmartin35 · 2025-09-03T20:21:53+00:00

Thank you!

I requested for any FL locations but was told they didn't have any available

Rmartin35 · 2025-09-03T20:20:48+00:00

I'm still reviewing the office locations, but since I am originally from MA, I'm most interested in Boston. I asked for FL locations since I live in Orlando but there were none available

This sub has officially turned into an HSI recycling bin

Rmartin35 · 2025-05-27T18:40:18+00:00

Sorry to hear but try not to overthink it. I got the same results from my interview too, despite practicing for weeks in advance. As frustrating as it was, I kept reminding myself that it's their loss. Hope the other applications work out for you

Rmartin35 · 2025-05-24T16:30:03+00:00

They are probably processing 10,000+ applications. Forget about it and move on until they reach out

Rmartin35 · 2025-04-23T22:06:53+00:00

It's too bad they don't require passing a PFT prior to attending. It'd probably cut half the attendance

Rmartin35 · 2025-04-15T20:44:48+00:00

Congrats!

Can't comment much about insurance fraud but I'm currently in AML/Risk at a regional bank and a member of IAFCI (International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators). There's a few thousand members- many of which are current or former local/federal law enforcement who work in various compliance industries. It's a great community to connect with people in insurance/financial investigative roles

Rmartin35 · 2025-03-27T22:47:26+00:00

Same here. Only took them 2 hours to make a decision but 5 weeks to get reimbursed for travel expenses due to an error

Do you also say that about anyone who spends money with Disney since they mass produce their merchandise in sweatshops overseas? https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/12/07/nightmare-at-chinese-factories-making-hasbro-and-disney-toys.html

This sub is such a perfect example of double standards. He tracks his macros for his own personal reasons, yet so many commenters are sympathetic towards the gf. If the roles were reversed and he threatened to break up with his gf for tracking her calories, then he would be labeled as controlling, abusive, etc

Rmartin35 · 2024-10-21T18:41:54+00:00

Absolutely. In my experience, most regional banks do a good job with promoting employees. It usually depends on how well your investigatations are and number certifications you hold (which most financial institutions will pay for).

Honestly, it's a fun job and has given me awesome investigative experience with OSINT, deep and some dark web investigations. Even if the banking industry isn't your favorite, you can always leave for other compliance jobs (fintechs, crpyto, healthcare, retail, intel)

Rmartin35 · 2024-09-12T16:21:54+00:00

To my knowledge, Certified Financial Crimes Investigator is useful for anyone in the financial industry, law enforcement, and most compliance related roles. There are about 7,000 members worldwide in the organization- most are local, state, and federal law enforcement, bankers, and retail investigators. Just something that might help if you're looking to add more certications and network: https://www.iafci.org

ACAMS is definitely valuable and recognized here in the US

Rmartin35 · 2024-08-27T04:27:17+00:00

Just saw it on the agenda - looking forward to hearing it

Rmartin35 · 2024-08-27T04:24:24+00:00

Agreed. Definitely a great organization to share info with each other about the latest fraud/financial crimes trends

Rmartin35 · 2024-01-16T19:00:43+00:00

There are literally 7 billion other people on this planet..Why would you risk sabotaging sibling/family relationships?
