About the Role

Our Financial Crime team plays a vital role in protecting Nationwide and its members from all forms of financial crime, including fraud. This is an evolving area with an outstanding reputation, fascinating subject matter, and industry-leading results. You’ll work with advanced detection systems, respond to ever-changing criminal methods, and help deliver an exceptional experience for our members.

This is your chance to make a real difference, not just for Nationwide, but for the lives of our members. As a Senior Economic Crime Investigator within our Fraud Investigations team, you’ll take the lead on complex cases involving unauthorised transactions while guiding and supporting analysts to achieve accurate, fair outcomes. Your expertise will shape best practices, provide coaching, and ensure investigations meet the highest standards of member protection. If you’re passionate about doing the right thing the right way, this role is for you.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
