No previous fraud experience is required – we’ll provide comprehensive training to set you up for success.

Our Financial Crime team protects Nationwide and its customers from all types of financial crime. Our team has an outstanding reputation, captivating subject matter and industry leading results that will see you work alongside detection systems, reacting to ever‑changing methods of financial crime, whilst striving to deliver exceptional customer experience.
