Remote Payments Operations Specialist

Remote Payments Operations Specialist at Corporate One Federal Credit Union

Corporate One Federal Credit Union is seeking a Remote Payments Operations Specialist to support payment processing, wire transfers, ACH operations, OFAC compliance reviews, reconciliations, and financial transaction management. This position plays a vital role in maintaining accurate, compliant, and timely payment operations for credit unions across the country.

This Remote Payments Operations Specialist role fits best as a non-phone banking operations position. Team members spend most of their day processing transactions, reviewing payment queues, conducting compliance reviews, balancing accounts, and resolving operational issues. While communication with member credit unions occurs when processing questions arise, the majority of responsibilities involve back-office payment operations rather than continuous phone activity.

Primary responsibilities include monitoring wire transfer queues, processing domestic and international wire transfers, supporting Real Time Payments (RTP), conducting OFAC compliance reviews, documenting findings, and escalating potential compliance concerns when necessary. Specialists also help monitor transactions for suspicious activity and support regulatory compliance efforts.

In addition, team members process international checks, support image handling operations, perform end-of-day balancing procedures, reconcile financial records, and maintain payment system accuracy. The position requires strong attention to detail because errors can impact financial transactions, compliance obligations, and member service quality.

The role also includes supporting member credit unions with payment processing inquiries, researching transaction issues, participating in payment-related projects, and helping ensure operational deadlines are consistently met. Strong organizational skills and the ability to work independently are essential for success in this remote environment.

Successful candidates typically possess banking, credit union, payments, wire transfer, ACH, or financial operations experience. Knowledge of OFAC compliance procedures, wire transfer processing, payment systems, reconciliation activities, and Microsoft Office applications provides a strong advantage.

Corporate One offers a remote work environment, competitive compensation, generous paid time off, retirement matching, tuition reimbursement, healthcare benefits, professional development opportunities, and the chance to work for one of the nation’s leading corporate credit unions.

Overall, this position is ideal for professionals who enjoy payment operations, financial processing, compliance reviews, fraud prevention, reconciliation activities, and back-office banking functions within a remote work environment.
