Supervise payment processes such as debit card ordering, ACH processing, and check exceptions, while spearheading fraud prevention strategies. Recommend and implement process enhancements to improve the member experience and align with the organization's risk tolerance. Utilize production-related reports for informed decision-making and actively participate in training on preventing fraud losses.
  • Oversee and optimize operational resources for digital banking services and their various integrations. Collaborate with direct reports to support operational activities. Develop and manage digital banking services, including online banking, mobile banking, bill pay, mobile check deposit, and more, as well as new or emerging banking services. Establish and enforce policies to enhance the efficiency and security of electronic and digital services. Stay informed about industry trends and regulatory changes, actively collaborating with peers to continuously improve technological offerings.
  • Monitor compliance exceptions, fraud incidents, and financial losses related to fraud, as well as wire policy exceptions and unscheduled digital banking availability. Stay updated on technological advancements through formal and informal resources, collaboration with peers, and active participation in internal teams. Utilize data to make informed decisions, drive improvements, and assess departmental performance. Negotiate with vendors for pricing and terms in service contracts, lead the implementation of new services, and recommend enhancements to existing services and processes.
  • Collaborate with the compliance department to ensure organizational adherence to deposit and digital service regulations, focusing on Reg E and the prevention of fraud losses. Advise, draft, and implement policies to ensure that the Operations departments comply with regulations and industry standards. Keep all disclosures up to date. Actively participate in required audits.
