CAREER HISTORY - Contract Business Analyst / Project Manager Roles

Jan 2015 – ongoing (2 renewals)Senior BA – Nationwide (Business Transformation)Kevin was employed by Nationwide Building Society to work on Protection and Investments enhancements. Nationwide had a requirement to increase the charge for its investments On Going Service (OGS) for new and existing customers from the current 50bps to 75bps and to provide a Proactive Contact for the Annual Customer Report. I documented the scope and requirements, worked actively with the test team and assisted the Delivery Manager to implement changes to plan. Legal & General are the investments 3rd party to Nationwide and the role included close interworking with them on a daily basis.I was asked to join the Payments Portfolio and was one of 6 BA’s analysing the forthcoming EU regulation for the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2), focussing on Framework Contracts, Payment Directive and Institutional Responsibilities. This legislation provides the legal foundation for an EU single market for payments, to establish safer and more innovative payment services across the EU. The objective is to make cross-border payments as easy, efficient and secure as 'national' payments within a Member State. PSD2 widens the scope of the PSD by covering new services and players as well as by extending the scope of existing services (payment instruments issued by payment service providers that do not manage the account of the payment service user), enabling their access to payment accounts. The results of the BA team analysis now sit with the senior executives to make crucial strategic decisions on the way forward into the future digital banking market.I was next requested to perform a quality assurance activity of the Single European Payment Area (SEPA) customer journey. This lead to updating the journey and successfully taking it through to build and test with the Digital technical team and testers. I also documented the ITDR scope and requirements for the SEPA platform and took this through to business readiness and implementation.In parallel to SEPA I was also the primary BA for the Bank of England legislation for the Extended CHAPS Settlement Day. This policy change extended the customer same day cut-off to provide the benefit of a longer business day to customers. This project was started later than it could have and was rapidly taken from scope and requirements through to business readiness and implementation to plan for go-live on the 20 June 2016. This was essentially a simple change but involved 70+ stakeholders as the change impacted so many business teams, so in that regard became a complex task with a strong emphasis on communications across the group to ensure legal compliance.

As a follow-on to the high value and international payments projects I am now working on the new Wire Transfer Regulations (WTR). The WTR is to ensure the traceability of all ‘in scope’ electronic fund transfers (Wire Transfers), domestic and cross-border, in any currency, which are sent or received by Payment Service Providers (PSPs) established in the European Union (EU). Changes will be required within Nationwide in order to comply. It lays down rules on the information on Payers and Payees, accompanying transfers of funds in any currency, for the purpose of preventing, detecting and investigating money laundering and terrorist financing. The work is ongoing as the new regulation comes into force on the 26 June 2017.

Jan 2014 – Dec 2014 (1 renewal)FATCA Lead – SelftradeKevin was the FATCA Lead PM / BA to ensure Selftrade (part of the Societe Generale Group) is compliant with the mandatory US tax regulation and HMRC Guidance, which is focussed on client onboarding, due diligence AML and KYC to identify and prevent tax avoidance. This was achieved by processing extensive and detailed client data MI on customers and their accounts across global jurisdictions. Selftrade is an online stock broker and provides multiple challenges, both in terms of Dealing, Funds, product scope, compliance, legal and operations changes for the delivery of a FATCA compliant solution to a UK Financial Institution with customers from multiple tax jurisdictions.

FATCA was delivered to plan on the regulatory effective date of 1 July 2014. Kevin was extended by 5 months to ensure all FATCA reporting and pre-existing customer classification is compliant prior to the sale of Selftrade assets to Equiniti in Q4 2014.

In addition, he has also successfully performed a Senior PM role for: The Retail Distribution Review (RDR) to remove trail commission and meet the FCA

regulations in April 2014. RDR was delivered on time. Documenting the Transaction Reporting Remediation project to meet both FCA and PRA

reporting and audit requirements. In addition to his FATCA duties and the forthcoming OEIC Global Information Exchange, Kevin’s role was expanded in June 2014 to include Brokerage & Legacy Services PM. He was the primary interface between Selftrade and Equiniti for providing the approach, scope, requirements and delivery of those services required to manage and maintain dissenting customers who opt not to migrate to Equiniti in Q4 2014. He delivered a reduced Brokerage service to plan consisting of 42 Trading and Operations employees to close and transfer dissenting customer accounts.

Oct 2013 – Dec 2013FATCA Trusts Lead – Coutts WealthKevin was employed as a hybrid senior PM / BA for Coutts Wealth in the private banking and international Wealth Change team and was tasked to deliver the Trusts classification and reporting for the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) for go-live on 01/07/2014. Deliverables included business focussed requirements, design, MI, business readiness and implementation for both the independent UK and International trust businesses, impacting changes to new business onboarding and KYC / AML systems using a local adaptation of Agile.

Feb 2012 – Oct 2013 (2 renewals)FATCA Lead Business Analyst – Lloyds Banking GroupKevin was employed as the Lead Business Analyst within LBG’s Global Payments Group working in the International Banking and Delivery team for the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). FATCA is complex worldwide USA IRS tax regulation to ensure US citizens don’t avoid paying tax.

Primary BA to deliver FATCA to LBG / Sainsbury’s Bank joint venture and Verde (TSB Bank). Responsible for requirements, design and delivery for International and UK trusts and funds

across LBG international wealth divisions in Geneva, Jersey and UK. This is a difficult area for tax legislation due to its innate complex structures and its use as a tax avoidance vehicle.

The role was particularly challenging as the trusts and funds workstream was initially out of scope. The key was to make the complex appear simple, not easy as trusts lacked clarity in the draft regulations and HMRC guidance.

This was successfully achieved due to the facilitation and stakeholder management of both Kevin and his Senior PM, albeit with extensive challenges due to initially working to draft IRS regulations then latterly to a UK Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with the IRS.
