  • Identify, investigate, and resolve transaction exceptions (holds, suspense items, out-of-balance conditions, duplicate or rejected entries) within established timeframes.
  • Serve as the primary escalation and inquiry point for the Customer Service team on transaction status, holds, wire and ACH tracing, and exception resolution.
  • Research and respond to wire recalls, ACH disputes, and unauthorized transaction claims; coordinate with correspondent banks and the ACH network as needed.
  • Reconcile general ledger and suspense accounts related to wire and ACH activity; prepare adjusting entries as required.
  • Maintain compliance with BSA/AML, OFAC, Regulation E, NACHA operating rules, and internal policies and procedures.

  • Support internal and external audits and exams by providing transaction records, exception logs, and procedural documentation.
  • Assist with month-end, quarter-end, and year-end processing and reporting as needed.

Qualifications

Required

  • 2+ years of experience in bank operations, back office processing, or a similar transaction-processing role.
  • Hands-on experience with wire transfer processing (Fedwire/SWIFT) and ACH processing (NACHA file formats, returns, and NOCs) strongly preferred.
  • Working knowledge of BSA/AML, OFAC, and Regulation E requirements as they relate to payment processing.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
