Compliance Analyst, Finance & Banking

About Yendo

Hi there, we're Yendo, and our vision is to empower everyday people to build a stronger financial future. In less than 2 years, we’ve saved customers over $100 million in unnecessary interest and fees.

We are using AI to unlock the $1.1 Trillion in vehicle equity trapped within cars owned by Americans in the form of a high limit, standard rate credit card for those traditionally excluded from mainstream financial offerings.

Yendo Credit Cards have similar APRs to those issued for prime borrowers with no hidden fees or overdraft charges and help build their customers' credit score. Yendo's credit limits are 4x higher than cards typically available for non-prime borrowers.

Reporting to Yendo’s CMS Compliance Manager, this position plays an active role across two equally important areas of Yendo’s compliance program. On the BSA/AML side, you’ll support CIP/KYC, customer due diligence, and transaction monitoring operations. On the CMS side, you’ll conduct compliance testing, support exam management, and help keep the documentation and issue-tracking infrastructure that underpins the entire program running smoothly.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to build broad compliance expertise at a fast-moving fintech where your work directly shapes the program.

You’ll work closely with the CMS Compliance Manager and broader compliance team to keep key program documentation current, elevate issues appropriately, and help ensure that regulatory requirements are consistently met in daily operations. You won't be expected to have all the answers on day one — but you will be expected to be curious, thorough, and proactive.

This is an analyst-level position with meaningful ownership. Your work will matter: whether you’re reviewing a transaction monitoring alert, executing a testing script, or pulling together exam documentation, the quality and consistency of what you produce directly supports Yendo’s ability to operate as a trusted financial institution. This position can grow significantly as you develop expertise and demonstrate the ability to take on broader responsibility within the compliance program.
