Background

About Maria Palgunov

Hello, and welcome to my LinkedIn profile! My name is Maria, and I am AML Monitoring Team Lead for banking services at LHV Bank. I am a passionate professional committed to restricting financial crimes and through that little by little helping to create a safer world. With experience in anti-money laundering, I have developed a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape and the importance of identifying and mitigating financial crime risks. I take great pride in my work and am dedicated to ensuring that our clients and my company are protected from financial crimes. Prior to my current role at LHV, I also worked as a KYC (Know Your Customer) specialist, where I gained valuable experience in identifying and verifying the identities of customers. This experience has helped me in my current team, where I apply the same principles of due diligence to monitor financial transactions and identify potential suspicious activity. In addition to my professional career, I was also a university student at Ewha Womans University in South Korea. My studies in International Business and Law have broadened my understanding of global business practices and legal frameworks. As a student, I've developed a keen eye for detail, critical thinking skills, and an ability to analyze complex situations. As a driven and motivated individual, I am constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and expertise in my field. I believe that my passion for compliance and my commitment to ethical business practices make me an asset to any organization. I'm always eager to connect with like-minded professionals who share my passion for preventing financial crime and promoting social justice. Peace out
