Why Economic Crime?
Our Economic Crime Hub brings together all aspects of fraud and financial crime activities across the bank. Our purpose is simply to prevent and detect economic crime, so that we can protect people, families, and businesses and contribute to a more secure society.
As economic crime becomes more complex and interconnected, we are evolving how we identify, assess and manage risk, using data, technology, and human judgement to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Over the course of this two-year programme, you can expect to:
- Build your understanding of economic crime risks across customers, products, and channels
- Build your ability to identify patterns, trends, and potential risks using data and analytical tools, while strengthening your confidence with digital tools, analytics platforms, and emerging technologies.
- Work alongside industry experts to develop your investigation and risk assessment skills
- Gain exposure to key areas including Operations, risk and control management, and data and analytics
- Collaborate with stakeholders across all three lines of defence
- Begin to apply critical thinking and risk-based judgement in real-world scenarios, using concise report writing skills
- Develop your confidence using digital tools, analytics platforms, and emerging technologies
