Build and lead compliance at a rapid-growing fintech About KPay KPay Group (KPay) is a leading fintech company empowering businesses of all sizes with simple, smart, seamless, and secure technology solutions. Serving 95,000+ merchants across Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and Australia, we help businesses grow through an integrated platform for payments, financial management, and digital transformation. Backed by USD 55 million in Series A funding—the largest global payments-sector Series A in 2024—KPay has been recognised as Forbes Asia's 100 to Watch (2025) and PayFac of the Year (2025). The Role As Senior Compliance Manager, you’ll be a key compliance partner to the Australian business, ensuring our operations continue to meet regulatory requirements while supporting responsible growth. You’ll work across ASIC, AFSL, AUSTRAC and AML/CTF, partnering with Product, Operations, Risk, Sales, Finance and Legal. This role would suit someone who enjoys being close to the business, solving practical compliance issues and building frameworks in a growing environment — rather than simply maintaining an established compliance function.

• Oversee regulatory compliance requirements across ASIC and AUSTRAC
• Develop and maintain the AML/CTF compliance framework

• Support regulatory reporting and regulatory engagement with ASIC and AUSTRAC
• Provide practical compliance advice to senior stakeholders and business teams
• Review new products, processes and business initiatives from a compliance perspective
• Maintain compliance policies, procedures, registers and regulatory obligations
• Partner with Risk, Operations, Product, Sales, Finance and Legal to embed compliance into day-to-day operations
• Support the continued development of KPay’s Australian compliance function as the business grows What we’re looking for
• 5+ years of compliance experience within financial services, fintech, payments, banking or lending
• Hands-on experience with both AFSL and AUSTRAC requirements in Australia
• Strong knowledge of ASIC regulatory requirements and AML/CTF obligations
• Experience with compliance monitoring, testing, risk assessments and breach management
• Strong understanding of KYC, CDD/EDD, sanctions and financial crime controls
• Experience advising senior stakeholders and working across multiple business functions
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive and practical approach to compliance
• The ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, growing environment
• Experience in payments, merchant acquiring or lending would be highly regarded. Why join KPay?
• Own and shape the Australian compliance function
• Work across payments, merchant acquiring and lending
• Gain broad exposure to ASIC, AFSL, AUSTRAC and AML/CTF
• Work directly with senior stakeholders and global teams
• Join an international fintech during a period of significant growth
• Have the opportunity to build and improve compliance frameworks rather than simply maintain them
• Grow your career as KPay continues to scale across Australia
