Risk Analyst

The position of Risk Analyst (former Fraud Detection Officer) is the key position relative to team's proactive fraud detection strategy. Utilizing the Proactive Risk Management (PRM) system, the Risk Analyst reviews system generated alerts by reviewing alert attributes and other Moneris systems to assess risk. Where risk is identified or there is a need to further investigate an alert, a Risk Analyst will also seek to validate activity directly with the merchant, with other financial institutions or by any other means necessary. Once fraud has been established, steps are taken to ensure that Moneris Solutions fraud losses/fraud loss exposure is effectively capped. These actions are taken within the context of established team authorities and/or with the concurrence of either the Fraud Specialist, Team Lead or Manager depending on the extent of the risk identified or the amount of funds restrained. Files with identified fraud are referred by Fraud Detection Officers to Fraud Specialists for referral to Fraud Analysts/Case Managers.

• Responsible for the early detection of fraud occurring within the Moneris Solution's merchant base. This is done through effective and efficient reviews of alerts generated through Moneris'Proprietary Risk Management Systems.
  
• Respond to general fraud calls/ inquiries received through the general fraud telephone line in a professional and courteous manner.

• Take appropriate risk mitigation steps when fraud is identified.
