We’re Capital on Tap

Capital on Tap started because small businesses were underserved. Big banks were slow, their products weren't fit for purpose, and small business owners often couldn't access what they needed. We set out to fix that.

Today we're a financial platform – not just a credit card company. We offer a best‑in‑class business credit card, SME‑focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier.

1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable.

Our Financial Crime team is growing quickly along with the company. They work on the front line to protect the company against financial crime such as money laundering and terrorist financing. From screening, onboarding, transaction monitoring through to CDD and EDD, they make decisions that really matter on a daily basis.

• Conduct CDD and EDD on SME customers in both the UK and US, with a focus on Know Your Business (KYB) requirements during onboarding and throughout the customer lifecycle.
• Independently scrutinise and assess beneficial and complex ownership structures, including layered entities, trusts, offshore elements, and funds, ensuring decisions align with Capital on Tap's risk appetite.
• Investigate high‑risk or suspicious activity by analysing corporate structures, customer profiles, and behaviour to identify and mitigate red flags and indicators of financial crime.
• Engage directly with customers, when needed, to clarify business activities, ownership, or source of funds/wealth.
• Make sound, risk‑based decisions based on available information and documented rationale.
• Handle Transaction Monitoring alerts and escalations in line with established procedures, ensuring both quality and timeliness are met.
• Prepare Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for internal approval and external submission to relevant authorities (NCA, FINCEN).
• Act as a subject matter expert for financial crime escalations, providing support across the wider Fin Crime team and business.
• Support continuous improvement by sharing insights on emerging financial crime typologies and contributing to enhancements in monitoring, onboarding, and ongoing review processes.

We pilot new ideas fast, ask questions to figure it out, and scale quickly.

Fast is as slow as we go – speed and simplicity give us a competitive advantage.

We tap in from day one to help the team – we do the right thing even if it’s hard.

We don’t chase people. If you own a task and agree to a date, the expectation is that it gets done.
