Remote compliance jobs in the UK

Which compliance jobs can you do from home?

Fraud investigation, transaction monitoring, KYC reviews, compliance monitoring and policy work all happen on screen, so plenty of teams let people do them from home. Senior roles like MLRO and Head of Compliance sometimes go remote too, especially at fintechs and crypto firms. Roles that need you close to the business, like onboarding teams at the big banks, are more often hybrid.

Who hires remote compliance staff?

Fintechs, payments firms and crypto exchanges hire the most. Charities and some law firms do too. Big banks usually want you in the office for part of the week, so most of their roles sit under hybrid.

What do remote compliance jobs pay?

Right now, live remote roles on Direct Compliance that list a salary pay between £25,000 and £149,000 a year.

Pay tracks the level of the role. A remote analyst job pays much like an analyst job in the office.

Can you get a remote compliance job with no experience?

It's hard. Most teams want new starters in the office while they learn the systems and the rules. The quicker route is a hybrid analyst role first, then a remote one once you've got a year behind you. Our guide to getting your first compliance job shows where to start.

Read the small print

"Remote" means different things to different employers. Before you apply, check:

• Which country you'd be employed in. "Remote, EMEA" can mean a contract in another country.
• Whether there are office days, even a few a month.
• Core hours, especially if the team sits in another time zone.
• What kit and system access you'll get.
