Financial crime, data & controls
Transaction-monitoring data strategy, continuous controls, remediation, governance, analytics and control evidence across a complex international estate.
About the Principal
Senior experience. Direct accountability.
Clients work directly with the person whose experience underpins the mandate.
Draz Ivezic is a senior banking, financial-crime, data and transformation adviser with more than 20 years’ experience across global financial institutions and critical payments environments.
Principal-led promise
Experience remains involved from first decision to agreed outcome.
NFRisk does not sell a senior profile and substitute a junior delivery layer. Any specialist support is selected for the mandate and made explicit.
Connected perspective
Across the full transformation lifecycle.
The differentiator is not experience in one risk category. It is the ability to connect business need, data, controls, technology, operations and delivery from the initial decision through implementation, remediation and assurance.
Career experience includes work across ING, HSBC, Santander, Barclays, NatWest/RBS, Lloyds Banking Group and VocaLink/Mastercard. These references describe prior personal experience and do not imply endorsement.

Faster Payments, SEPA, SWIFT, requirements, architecture, testing, resilience, integration, implementation and operational readiness.
Transformation & assurance
Target states, operating models, technology qualification, programme recovery, supplier and location risk, testing and executive decision support.
Operating model
Principal-led, proportionate and explicit.
Clients work directly with Draz. NFRisk may assemble selected specialists for an agreed mandate, subject to availability, contracting, insurance and explicit responsibility boundaries.
Earlier entrepreneurial experience includes building and coordinating a network of independent consultants. The current proposition uses that experience selectively; it is not positioned as a staff-augmentation or large implementation business.
Engagement principles
NFRisk focuses on diagnosis, design, challenge, assurance and controlled implementation. It does not present itself as legal counsel, an outsourced MLRO, a software developer or a commission-only sales intermediary. Formal legal, regulatory, engineering and accountable business ownership remain with the appropriately appointed parties.
