Fintech Compliance Specialist

Fintech Compliance Specialist
Cape Girardeau, MO | Full-Time | Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM | Starting at $22/hr, based on experience

Banking is changing — and compliance is changing with it.

At MRV Connect, we combine the strength and experience of a relationship-driven community bank with the evolving world of fintech, digital banking, payments, and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS).  As our Fintech Compliance Specialist, you’ll help ensure our fintech partnerships and digital banking programs grow responsibly and operate within regulatory expectations. You’ll monitor programs, identify potential risks, work directly with fintech partners, research evolving regulations, and help make sure issues are resolved — not just identified.  This is a great opportunity for someone who is analytical, detail-oriented, curious, and comfortable asking questions. If you like digging into the details, figuring out why something happened, and finding solutions in an environment that continues to evolve, you may be a great fit.

What You’ll Do

• Monitor fintech programs, digital banking services, and BaaS activities for compliance with banking regulations and internal policies.
• Identify and assess potential compliance and regulatory risks and communicate findings to the appropriate teams.
• Work directly with fintech partners to address questions, coordinate information, and support effective compliance oversight.
• Research and track regulatory developments affecting fintech, payments, digital onboarding, and consumer protection.
• Assist with developing and executing compliance testing and monitoring for fintech products and services.
• Investigate compliance concerns, help identify solutions, and support remediation when gaps or process issues are identified.
• Conduct follow-up testing to make sure corrective actions are effective and lasting.
• Maintain organized, audit-ready documentation, including testing results, regulatory reports, and partner oversight records.
• Support internal and external audits, regulatory examinations, and inquiries involving fintech activities.
• Prepare compliance reports, metrics, and summaries for leadership, risk committees, and regulatory reviews.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Legal Studies, Criminal Justice, or a related field — or equivalent experience.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify risk and dig into the details.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the confidence to work directly with internal teams and external fintech partners.
• Ability to interpret regulatory guidance and translate requirements into practical action.
• Excellent organization, follow-through, and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in an evolving, fast-paced environment.
• Experience in financial services compliance, payments, or fintech preferred.
• Knowledge of banking and payments regulations preferred.
• A growth mindset and willingness to continuously learn as fintech and regulatory expectations evolve.
