Nina Griswold

AML / KYC Analyst with expertise in CDD, EDD, sanctions screening, and risk assessment. I am recognised for my ability to identify nuanced risks, deliver clear and detailed reports, and improve compliance processes in fast-paced environments. With a continuous improvement mindset, strong analytical skills, and direct communication style, I bring integrity, adaptability, and efficiency to every investigation.

Experienced in client onboarding, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge sharing, I thrive on building relationships and ensuring high standards of compliance outcomes.

I have worked across multiple compliance functions at Santander UK, progressing from business banking onboarding to customer contact within Financial Crime, and later to compliance consulting. In these roles, I managed end-to-end due diligence for high-risk clients, performed KYC/KYB, SoF/SoW verification, sanctions checks, and transactional analysis, and prepared referrals for complex cases. I designed and delivered training adopted by the Financial Crime academy, identified process gaps that reduced client losses, and drove system improvements to enhance productivity.

I also independently managed a corporate banking project to restructure client agreement tracking and contributed to policy documentation updates that streamlined workflows.
