Banking Frauds Certification for RCU/ FCU Employees

These days, every bank will have its own Fraud Control Unit (FCU) or a Risk Containment Unit (RCU). The primary task of these units is to prevent, detect and investigate frauds in the retail banking sector. As the banks and non-banking financial institutions evolve, the RCU teams play a vital role.

From credit card applications to retail loan applications, they pick up the samples and verify their addresses, income sources, and other aspects of the loans. RCU and FCU staff also looks into investigations. Generally, these are desktop investigations, supported by vendors performing field-level checks. During the investigations, FCU teams also check the criminal records of the borrower.

RCU or FCU checks is not a checklist investigation. Basically, it requires experience and knowledge of investigations. Hence, Indiaforensic offers a dedicated certification program for RCU teams.

Additionally, they are also required to look at the suspect transactions. Frauds evolved with time, but there were no training programs or certificates in fraud risk management. It was only in 2006 when courses in fraud prevention became reality. It was necessary for RCU teams to know about the different types of fraud. RCU and FCU employees need to be in sync with the trend. Additionally, the classification of banking fraud is the basis of the curriculum of the CBFA.
