Summary

Have eight years of experience in banking. Started the career in this industry by working as a customer banker. From the beginning of the adventure with the world of finance, I wanted to
to develop in compliance/AML units. After years of working in various business units, I have succeeded in achieving this goal. I am currently working as a KYC Expert. Additionally, I represent Santander in several working groups at the Association of Polish Banks and Wolfsberg Group.
