Our Fraud Team⭐

As a Fraud Investigator within our Prevent pillar, you will be at the absolute frontline of our mission to earn and keep our customers’ trust while building a safer society. Your primary focus is providing vital, real-time intervention for customers facing active fraud attempts, specifically managing risks across authorised card and faster payment channels. This is a high-impact, proactive role where you won't just be reviewing cases—you'll be taking decisive action, which includes making calls to guide customers through stressful situations and secure their funds. By preventing losses before they happen, you become a crucial contributor to Monzo’s safe growth and a key defender against financial crime in the industry.

🔑You’ll play a key role by...

• Real-Time Investigation: Gather and analyse evidence from flagged transaction data to identify active fraud attempts.
• High-Stakes Decision Making: Make confident, independent—and at times collaborative—decisions to either release or block suspicious transactions.
• Customer Intervention: Use Monzo’s values to investigate suspicious activity via phone and chat, balancing professional curiosity with deep empathy.
• Active Safeguarding: Support and reassure customers during active fraud scares, securing compromised accounts and taking remedial action so they can resume safe banking.
• Case Triage & Review: Effectively triage incoming cases and review customer limit increase requests to mitigate potential risk.
• Account Integrity: Where investigations reveal first-party concerns, manage the account closure process in strict accordance with internal guidance.
• Educational Support: Empower victims of fraud by providing tailored advice on how to protect themselves from future threats.
• Operational Excellence: Complete all necessary post-investigation activity with high attention to detail to ensure a clean audit trail.

• Feedback-driven Mindset: A proactive approach to continuous improvement, consistently seeking out and acting upon feedback to refine your craft.
• Solution-oriented problem-solving: You bring solutions rather than just highlighting obstacles, providing kind and constructive feedback to your peers to help the collective grow.
