Background

About Spela Rupnik

PRESENT TIME Currently, I am working as an AML Officer at BKS Bank AG, Bančna podružnica, in Slovenia. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES I started with my work experience at the notary office, where I was employed for two years as an intern and later I worked as a business legal assistant. My advantages are an excellent knowledge of civil law, especially contract law, property law and land registry law. I also did a mandatory 8-month internship in court as a judicial trainee in 2019. In May 2021 I passed the bar exam. After the bar exam I started gaining work experience in the financial sector (alternative investment funds). For a year and a half I worked as a Deputy Head of Compliance at BKS Bank AG for securities business in Slovenia which helped me deepen my knowledge of financial instruments and general compliance. In addition, I contributed to the CRS Annual Report of clients. In March 2023, I also assisted the AML department in relation to the review of unusual customer transactions. As an expert associate for securities business, I was mainly involved in securities business and also in the drafting of new and reviewing existing acts within the Slovenian branch. I have a good knowledge of European banking/ securities business regulations and directives. In September 2023 I passed brokerage exam for receiving and placing orders for clients (licence A).
