Behavioral

Tell me about a time you found a fraud pattern that others had missed. How did you spot it?

Tell me about a case where you had to work with law enforcement or an outside vendor. How did that collaboration go?

ability to communicate and coordinate across organizational boundaries during investigations

Tell me about a time your investigation conclusion was questioned by a manager or peer. What did you do?

Tell me about a time you had to explain a complex fraud finding to someone without an investigative background.

communication skills needed to translate technical findings for business partners or customers

Technical

Walk me through how you'd investigate a fraud alert on a customer account from the moment it lands in your queue to closing the case.

whether the candidate has a structured, repeatable investigative process rather than a random or gut-driven approach

What do you know about the Bank Secrecy Act and how it applies to the day-to-day work of this role?

baseline regulatory literacy specific to BSA responsibilities, since this role reports directly into Financial Intelligence

Describe a fraud typology you've seen recently, like check fraud, account takeover, or elder financial exploitation, and how you'd recognize it in transaction data.

current, working knowledge of fraud schemes rather than textbook definitions

What fraud detection systems or case management platforms have you used, and how comfortable are you learning a new one quickly?

tool familiarity and adaptability, since the posting lists specific systems experience as preferred but not mandatory

How do you keep your documentation clear and audit-ready when you're moving fast through a high volume of cases?

attention to detail and awareness that case files may be reviewed by regulators or auditors later

Situational

Say a transaction monitoring rule is generating a high volume of false positives. How would you approach tuning it?

practical understanding of alert tuning and balancing detection effectiveness against analyst workload

How do you decide when a suspicious activity report needs to be filed versus when the activity can be documented and closed?

judgment in applying regulatory reporting thresholds and risk-based decision making

If you had two urgent fraud cases land at the same time, one involving a large dollar loss and one involving a vulnerable customer, how would you prioritize?

prioritization skills under competing risk factors, not just dollar amount

What would you do if you suspected a colleague or internal process was contributing to a control gap that let fraud through?

integrity and willingness to escalate concerns through proper channels like the ethics hotline
