About the FinCrime Team:
As a bank, Monzo is an appealing target for criminals who try to launder illegally gained funds through our accounts or fraudulently convince our customers to give them their money. Our team works to prevent, identify, and fix instances of fraud and crime. These capabilities are critical to Monzo’s business because they ensure legal compliance, improve customer experience, and enable us to grow safely.
