Senior Associate (Know Your Customer Verification - Private Banking & Institutional Services) - Hybrid

M&T Bank • Wilmington, DE • 1h ago

Overview:

We are seeking a detail-oriented and independent professional to join our Client Onboarding and Support team, where you will play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and compliance of client onboarding for high-net-worth and institutional clients. In this role, you will serve as a key quality control point within the account opening process, reviewing Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation to ensure all regulatory requirements and internal policies are met before accounts are finalized. Your work directly supports risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and a seamless onboarding experience for Private Banking clients.

What You'll Do:

Review KYC documentation for new client accounts, ensuring all required data, supporting documentation, and regulatory requirements are fully satisfied

Partner closely with Relationship Managers and internal teams to resolve questions, clarify requirements, and ensure timely account onboarding

Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or potential risk indicators and take appropriate action, including escalation when needed

Ensure all reviews are completed accurately and efficiently within established same-day service level expectations

Work across multiple systems to validate information and complete reviews with a high level of precision

Provide feedback to onboarding partners to improve quality, consistency, and adherence to KYC standards

Recognize trends or recurring issues and contribute to process improvements and stronger controls

A Day in the Life:

You will spend your day reviewing new account onboarding packages ensuring each meets strict KYC and regulatory standards before approval. You will work independently while collaborating with a small team to meet daily deadlines, often completing reviews by end of day. While the role does not involve direct client interaction, you will serve as a critical partner to Relationship Managers and internal stakeholders, helping ensure accounts are opened accurately and efficiently. Once Private Banking work is complete, you may also support Corporate Trust account reviews, adding variety and broader exposure across business lines.

Education and Experience Required:

6+ years' combined higher education and/or work experience

Education and Experience Preferred:

Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, or a related field

Experience supporting Private Banking, Wealth Management, or Capital Markets environments

Prior experience reviewing financial documentation or working within controlled, compliance-driven processes

Strong attention to detail and ability to identify missing or inconsistent information

Ability to work independently and manage a high-volume workload with tight deadlines

Experience in banking, financial services, or a related field

Familiarity with regulatory review processes such as KYC, compliance, audit, or FinCEN requirements

Background in operations, back-office processing, or financial data review (e.g., accounts payable/receivable, bookkeeping, accounting)

Strong organizational and time management skills

Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills
