Vinted Pay is the regulated payments entity that makes it possible through enabling Vinted users to spend money, receive money, keep money and payout, while keeping them safe from financial crime.</p> <p>We are establishing a new AML &amp; Fraud Prevention product domain within Vinted Pay. As a regulated financial institution operating across Europe, our obligations grow as we grow: anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing controls, sanctions screening, KYC, transaction monitoring are protecting our members and our balance sheet from fraud and other illegal activities. Today these capabilities sit across several teams and tools. This domain will own them end to end, and turn financial crime prevention into a mature product: controls that satisfy regulators without adding friction for the honest majority.</p> <p>This is a newly created domain.
