What We're Looking For
Cross River’s Compliance team ensures our business follows consumer compliance regulations, industry best practices, and established Bank procedures. This role supports the Bank’s offering of consumer and business-purpose card products in conjunction with third-party providers.

Once a third-party provider is onboarded, regular compliance oversight includes ongoing compliance monitoring and testing.

Responsibilities:

- Review due diligence submitted by prospective third-party providers including documentation of CMS, regulatory policies and procedures, compliance charter, application flow, application disclosures, and cardholder agreements, against consumer compliance regulations, card network rules, card industry best practices, and in accordance with FDIC Credit Card Activities Guidance and established Bank procedures.
- Develop thoughtful analysis and draft follow up questions on the due diligence materials provided by the prospective third-party providers. Recommend additional control enhancements and or testing as necessary and appropriate.
- Act as compliance liaison to “hold hands” with third-party providers, including facilitating meetings, during the due diligence and onboarding phases.
- Execute ongoing monitoring reviews in accordance with the established procedures to provide ongoing independent assessment of compliance with applicable rules and regulations.
- Review consumer marketing of lending products for compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
- Identify compliance risks associated with proposed product offering and/or business practices. Provide advisory support to external partners on interpretation and application of consumer compliance requirements, as well as Bank policies, to proposed changes.
- Support the Compliance management and reporting responsibilities during the onboarding process.
Qualifications:
- 1-3 years of direct regulatory compliance experience supporting credit card lending function.
- Demonstrable experience in building relationships such as through consulting, partnership creation, onboarding, or marketing.
- Ability to communicate effectively with business, compliance and technical stakeholders and translate requirements across stakeholders.
- Strong knowledge of consumer compliance laws and regulations impacting card programs, including, but not limited to TILA/Regulation Z, ECOA/Regulation B, FCRA/Regulation V, as well as strong knowledge of card network rules and card industry best practices. CRB’s current BIN association is with Visa.
- Ability to draft internal memos, or company policies as required.
- Ability to work in a team environment and assist with reviews, projects and/or team initiatives.
- Strong organizational skills and willingness to take ownership and responsibility of tasks.
