If you have a strong passion for compliance and making a positive impact on our business, our people, and our customers, we’d love for you to apply. As Compliance Assistant you are responsible for providing compliance support as well as monitoring and documenting compliance activities. Successful candidates will exhibit strong ethical judgment and manage the information flow by researching, recording, and analyzing data and information. In the Compliance Assistant position, you will be responsible for assisting in the adherence of the bank’s operations, policies, and procedures to Federal and State laws and regulations. Specifically, this position ensures compliance with the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and manages the HMDA software. The compliance department plays an important role at the bank, as they are responsible for everything from protecting individuals from fraud to shielding the business from regulatory action.
