Claire Sarzynski
Compliance Associate
Claire always wanted a job that would allow her to better the world.
She started her career as an assistant branch manager at a community bank and moved to its BSA compliance department when she spotted an open position.
Within a year and a half, she was promoted to BSA Investigator and began conducting financial crimes investigations and filing SARs.
Her role as an anti-money laundering/countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) professional focused on compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act fit fulfilled her wish for meaningful work.
She also worked at two other community banks, primarily concentrating on financial crimes investigations, training new BSA team members, and stepping into a management role.
As a BSA/AML consultant, Claire’s experience includes independent reviews of large money services businesses (MSBs), crypto FinTechs, domestic offices of foreign banks (FBOs), and community banks.
Effectively and efficiently designing procedures and processes for regulatory compliance is one of her greatest strengths.
Her enthusiasm for the work stems from doing right by bank clients and ensuring the security and integrity of the financial industry.

When I’m not doing my bit to fight financial crime, you’ll find me reading Jane Austen, camping with my family, and embracing my inner DIY guru with IKEA-inspired home renovations.
