Fraud Investigator

What You’ll Do:

Day in the Life – In this role, you’ll spend much of your day investigating fraud cases that have been escalated by the fraud monitoring teams. You may begin by reviewing a case involving suspicious transactions, analyzing account activity and payment patterns to determine how the fraud occurred. Throughout the day, you’ll contact customers, receiving banks, and internal partners to gather additional information and document findings within the bank’s fraud systems. Some cases may require coordination with law enforcement or other agencies to support investigations or recovery efforts. You’ll also prepare documentation for regulatory reporting, including Suspicious Activity Reports, and work closely with the BSA team when filings are required. In addition to investigations, you may assist with training newer team members, identifying fraud trends, and supporting improvements to fraud prevention processes.
