• Ability to review account activity, recognize unusual patterns, gather relevant information, and develop a well-documented fraud investigation.
• Ability to identify activity that may warrant further review and refer completed investigations to Compliance/BSA for SAR consideration.
• Strong investigative and analytical skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to recognize patterns and inconsistencies.
