It offers chequing accounts, savings, credit cards, self-directed trading (stocks, ETFs, options), cryptocurrency trading, managed portfolios, tax services, and advisory wealth management for high-net-worth clients. Wealthsimple combines digital-first banking and low-fee investing products aimed at retail customers, along with tools and educational content to support personal finance.

📋 Description

• Investigate & Trace: Dive into the weeds of suspected deposit fraud, fraudulent EFTs, wire fraud, Interac e-Transfer interceptions, reviewing cheque deposits and money mule networks. • Secure & Mitigate: Take immediate, decisive action to lock down high-risk accounts and halt suspicious outgoing transfers. • Empower the Frontline: Conduct deep-dive investigations and write clear, conclusive case notes to provide client-facing teams with what they need to communicate to the client. • Manage the Queue: Act as a master multi-tasker, managing multiple complex banking investigations at once while strictly maintaining case-closure Service Level Agreements (SLAs). • Connect the Dots: Participate in weekly calibration sessions with peers to share findings and spot new banking scam typologies.

🎯 Requirements

• Minimum 1 year of direct, backend fraud investigations experience, with specific exposure to retail banking fraud, fiat cash movement (EFT/ACH, wires, Interac e-Transfers), or deposit fraud. • Hands-on experience investigating money mules, first-party/friendly fraud, cheque fraud, and synthetic identities (with a foundational understanding of how account takeovers can tie into these events). • Demonstrated understanding of Canadian clearing systems and rules (e.g., how EFT regulations, Interac guidelines, and bank indemnities dictate fund recovery). • The ability to collect, organize, and analyze financial ledgers, transaction metadata, and banking details with precision to spot interconnected fraud rings. • Exceptional written communication skills for case documentation, drafting clear summaries, and cross-functional handoffs. • A genuine, active interest in the evolving landscape of digital banking, faster payments, and how traditional fraud intersects with modern fintech. • Completed courses or professional designations in fraud examination or financial crime (e.g., Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) or CAMS) (nice to have).
