• Preparing daily reports to make sure transactions are coded correctly
• Supporting account opening, FICA/KYC and sending documents via DocuSign
• Following up on uncashed cheques and reporting to advisors
• Helping train colleagues on money movement policies and procedures
• Completing tasks accurately and on time in Salesforce

What you'll need

• Current experience processing and approving or authorising client payments or transactions
• Direct experience working with custodians, banks or banking platforms
• A background in unit trusts, LISP, transfer agency, fund services or private wealth
• Outstanding attention to detail and strong organisational skills
• Clear written and verbal communication, and a customer service mindset
• The ability to work independently while enjoying being part of a close team
• Discretion with highly confidential client information
• Availability to work onsite in Cape Town, 2pm to 10pm, Monday to Friday

Advantageous

• Offshore or international payments exposure
