Compliance Analyst

Yendo•Dallas, TX

1d•$65,000 - $85,000•Onsite

About The Position

Reporting to Yendo’s CMS Compliance Manager, this position plays an active role across two equally important areas of Yendo’s compliance program. On the BSA/AML side, you’ll support CIP/KYC, customer due diligence, and transaction monitoring operations. On the CMS side, you’ll conduct compliance testing, support exam management, and help keep the documentation and issue-tracking infrastructure that underpins the entire program running smoothly. This role is ideal for someone who wants to build broad compliance expertise at a fast-moving fintech where your work directly shapes the program. You’ll work closely with the CMS Compliance Manager and broader compliance team to keep key program documentation current, escalate issues appropriately, and help ensure that regulatory requirements are consistently met in daily operations. You won’t be expected to have all the answers on day one — but you will be expected to be curious, thorough, and proactive. This is an analyst-level position with meaningful ownership. Your work will matter: whether you’re reviewing a transaction monitoring alert, executing a testing script, or pulling together exam documentation, the quality and consistency of what you produce directly supports Yendo’s ability to operate as a trusted financial institution. This position can grow significantly as you develop expertise and demonstrate the ability to take on broader responsibility within the compliance program.

Requirements

Minimum 2–4 years of relevant compliance experience at a bank, fintech, or MSB, with exposure to BSA/AML and/or CMS functions (testing, audit support, issue management)
Working knowledge of BSA/AML requirements, including CIP/KYC, transaction monitoring, SARs, and OFAC screening, alongside familiarity with CMS components such as compliance testing, issue management, and exam support
Familiarity with core consumer financial regulations (TILA/Reg Z, ECOA/Reg B, UDAAP) and how they apply in a credit card context
Detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to manage multiple open items simultaneously without letting things fall through the cracks
Clear written communication skills — you’ll be drafting testing workpapers, escalation memos, and documentation that others will rely on
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where processes are still being built — you’re a contributor, not just a follower
Collaborative and low-ego — you work well with colleagues across departments and aren’t afraid to ask questions

Nice To Haves

Prior experience at a fintech or bank-fintech partnership model
Familiarity with compliance management systems or GRC tools
CAMS certification or progress toward it
College degree in finance, business, criminal justice, or related field
Interest in growing into a broader compliance role over time
Some comfort with data or spreadsheet-based analysis

Responsibilities

Perform compliance testing across key program areas — scoping tests, executing procedures, documenting findings and observations, and tracking corrective actions to closure
Support regulatory exam and audit management, including organizing documentation, tracking examiner or auditor requests, and helping prepare responses and management action plans
Maintain and update compliance program documentation — policies, procedures, control inventories, and issue logs — keeping records current and audit-ready
Support BSA/AML program operations, including CIP/KYC onboarding reviews, ongoing customer due diligence (CDD), and enhanced due diligence (EDD) processes
Conduct and document transaction monitoring reviews — investigating alerts, preparing SAR referrals, and escalating activity requiring further review
Track open compliance issues and corrective action plans, coordinating with business stakeholders to drive timely closure
Pitch in across the compliance program where needed — no task is too big or too small if it keeps us compliant
