Capture and share actionable intelligence related to suspected scammers, mule accounts, beneficiaries, payment destinations, devices, digital identifiers, scam scripts, and recurring patterns to support broader disruption and detection strategies.
Collaborate with Fraud Detection, Application Fraud, Investigations, Fraud Strategy, Fraud Analytics, branches, contact centres, and other business partners to support coordinated disruption activities.
Understand how the Bank’s risk appetite and risk culture should be considered in day-to-day activities and decisions.
