What You'll Do:

Fraud is one of the largest challenges plaguing financial institutions today, with an estimated $700 billion in annual losses from identity theft alone. Koalafi partners with thousands of merchants across the country to offer point-of-sale financing and receives over a million customer applications per year. As a Fraud Investigator, you will monitor and research risk signals for both customers and merchants that could indicate some form of fraud is being committed. This includes a risk assessment during onboarding of new merchants, ongoing monitoring/review of merchant performance, and review of applications flagged for potential fraud.

As a Fraud Investigator, you will look for systemic patterns in suspicious customer and merchant behavior and conduct deep dives/investigations to determine legitimacy. This includes identity theft, synthetic IDs, manipulated IDs, taking advantage of vulnerable persons, and taking advantage of family or friends. Fraud investigators have several tools available to them to assist in the research of customers and merchants, such as application data, internal system of record data, internet searched data, and third-party fraud prevention tools. You will be expected to use these tools and to call available telephone numbers to reach as accurate of a conclusion as possible. The Fraud Investigator will also manage inbound fraud claims and perform ad hoc research into uncommon scenarios that could indicate foul play. This role requires collaboration across multiple departments, such as Sales, Operations, Fraud Analytics, and Compliance.

About You (Qualifications)

  • High School Diploma, GED, or equivalent certification
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel/Word
  • Minimum 2 years of Fraud Experience
  • Strong pattern recognition and attention to details
  • Motivated to stop fraudsters
  • Comfortable having difficult conversations with Merchants
  • Collaborative spirit and ability to coordinate with multiple departments
