Our goal in Financial Crime
Our aim is to be there for our customers when they need us to protect them – financial crime costs the UK economy billions of pounds a year.
Criminals prey on the vulnerable, costing them savings, livelihoods, and sometimes their freedom. Businesses lose out on opportunities. Money is used to fund crime and terrorism around the world. We want to make it easy for our customers to stay safe.
What’s great about the programme?
Every area of our business is different – they each need their own skillsets, their own challenges, their own nuances. What better way to find out what working in a business area is like, than from the people who already work there?
