Citigroup Searches for Bitcoin Professionals to Deter Money Laundering

Citigroup is advertising positions for Bitcoin professionals in order to beef up their in-house anti-money laundering operations.

Citi wants Bitcoin Specialists to Help Deter Crypto Crime

The New York financial services giant Citigroup has posted ads on LinkedIn searching to fill vice president and senior vice president positions that will explore the risks of criminal activity associated with cryptocurrency and other digital payment technologies. The job advertisements stress “knowledge of cryptocurrency and bitcoin monitoring.” Candidates with a Bitcoin Professional Certificate will move to the head of the line.

The position of senior vice president is described on LinkedIn as “support the Global Head of AML Monitoring Risk Management-Emerging Risk by identifying, analyzing, and implementing AML transaction monitoring risk programs related to developments in cybersecurity, cryptocurrency, and emerging payment technologies, products, and methods,”

Including the Bitcoin Professional Certificate is an unusual qualification for a position in such a venerable company. When LinkedIn was searched with the qualification as a keyword only the Citigroup ad was found.

A CPB is unlike similar-sounding qualifications like CPA or CFA as it can be had by paying $50 and taking a 75 question multiple choice test online. The CPB certificate is meant to show a level of proficiency in Bitcoin transactions not to indicate any mastery of the technology that powers the cryptocurrency.

Citi’s Hunt for Certified Crypto Professionals may Indicate a Change in Company Position

The LinkedIn advertisements may indicate a change of position for Citigroup who in the recent past have banned customers from making cryptocurrency purchases with their credit cards. Nor has the group joined other financial giants like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs in clearing Bitcoin futures trades for clients.

Ryan Taylor, the chief executive officer of Dash Core, was quoted by Business Insider as saying;

“Citi is very seriously looking at risks surrounding the nascent market for digital currencies. They are either identifying risk to eliminate certain profiles, or this could be a prerequisite to identifying new opportunities in the space at a later point,”

Despite its apparent hostile position to cryptocurrency, Citigroup has been looking into distributed ledger technology for some years now and have developed their own blockchain in order to run a currency called Citicoin in an attempt at creating a platform similar to Bitcoin.

The financial group had also created an accelerator to fund promising fintech startups in Hong Kong called Citi Mobile Challange Asia- Pacific as far back as the summer of 2015.
