Assess whether a SAR narrative is supportable today after three applications

Situation

Payments Fraud work in an ACH originating credit union now turns on a SAR narrative is because three applications sharing one employer EIN and no payroll put first-party friendly-fraud dispute pack in play. Payments-risk officer should say what first-party friendly-fraud dispute pack proves.

Decision

Payments-risk officer in an ACH originating credit union must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using first-party friendly-fraud dispute pack after three applications sharing one employer EIN and no payroll.

Hypotheses to test

• Three applications sharing one employer EIN and no payroll is noise around an already-controlled Payments Fraud process in an ACH originating credit union, given first-party friendly-fraud dispute pack.
• Three applications sharing one employer EIN and no payroll is the event in first-party friendly-fraud dispute pack that forces Remove access or reverse the item for payments-risk officer under Fraud Detection.
• First-party friendly-fraud dispute pack shows a one-file miss after three applications sharing one employer EIN and no payroll, not a Payments Fraud program failure.
• First-party friendly-fraud dispute pack cannot decide a SAR narrative is yet after three applications sharing one employer EIN and no payroll; hold is the only Fraud Detection close an ACH originating credit union can defend.

Analysis required

• Test a one-off dispute against the first edge of a scheme around a SAR narrative is.
• Check mule or round-trip markers in first-party friendly-fraud dispute pack.
• Map typology and hold authority payments-risk officer actually has in an ACH originating credit union.
• For this Fraud Detection Payments Fraud file, read first-party friendly-fraud dispute pack against three applications sharing one employer EIN and no payroll and write the one fact that would move a SAR narrative is for payments-risk officer.

Recommendation

Choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold on this Fraud Detection / Payments Fraud packet (first-party friendly-fraud dispute pack after three applications sharing one employer EIN and no payroll). The follow-on Payments Fraud action is what payments-risk officer does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
