Working student KYC

Bitonic is looking for an enthusiastic, eager-to-learn student or recent graduate to join and strengthen our Risk & Compliance team.

Part-time - Amsterdam

About Bitonic

In April 2012 Bitonic was the first in the Netherlands to start offering (automated) Bitcoins via iDEAL. We do so via our website and our app. Besides, customers have the possibility to store their bitcoin at Bitonic (custodial) instead of in their own wallet and to automatically buy bitcoin with Auto Invest.

Bitonic's mission statement is: Bitcoin for everyone. As such, our team is passionate about providing an accessible and convenient service for buying and selling Bitcoins.

Bitonic has a flat organizational structure where every opinion is valued equally. The work culture at Bitonic offers a lot of freedom to put forward and develop your ideas.

Working student KYC at Bitonic

KYC (Know Your Customer) involves verifying customer identities and assessing risks such as fraud and money laundering. As an organization operating in the crypto sector, we are subject to strict (European) laws and regulations. Our KYC analysts ensure that customer files are up to date, complete, and auditable through onboarding, periodic reviews, transaction monitoring, and (where necessary) offboarding.

As a working student KYC, you will be part of the Risk & Compliance team and support the KYC analysts. Your main focus will be carrying out periodic reviews of existing customers.

Your responsibilities when performing periodic reviews include:

• Updating customer profiles
• Reviewing and assessing transactions
• Conducting 'adverse media checks'
• Requesting additional or updated information from customers
• Assessing whether the risk level is still appropriate

What do we expect from you?

You are positive, analytical, structured, and able to work independently. You think for yourself, while also being a true team player.

Experience with KYC/CDD work is not required. We understand that, as a student, you may have limited experience in this area. That is why we provide a comprehensive onboarding program to support you. You will learn and work under the guidance of, and in close collaboration with, experienced colleagues.

Additionally, we expect the following:

• You are currently enrolled in an HBO or WO (higher professional or university) degree program, or have recently graduated. Relevant fields of study include compliance, business administration, criminology, commercial economics, or law
• You are available for 16–24 hours per week
• A strong sense of curiosity and a development-oriented mindset
• You are living in the Netherlands and speaking Dutch is a plus. If you don't speak Dutch, proper English skills are required
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to articulate analyses in a transparent, clear, focused, and efficient manner
• Knowledge of and experience with Bitcoin is a plus, but not a requirement

Our perks

• A temporary contract for 16–24 hours per week, with the possibility of extension.
• We offer a salary of € 15 – € 18 per hour (equivalent to € 17,45 – € 20,94 per hour including holiday allowance and 13th-month bonus)
• A thirteenth month
• 32 vacation days on a full-time basis, including public holidays: you can choose whether you work on public holidays or not
• Travel allowance of € 0,23 cents per km or NS business card
• Flexibility in working hours
• We provide you with a Macbook and other necessities
• Activities such as game nights and monthly get-togethers
• Bitonic has no pension plan
• Daily lunch with local (organic) products
• We are proud of our organization and like to promote it. So we have some merchandise waiting for you!
