ABOUT THE TEAM:
Ongoing Monitoring is building the capabilities Tide needs to detect, prevent and manage financial crime, fraud and risk across the member lifecycle.
Within Ongoing Monitoring, we are creating a new Acquiring Fraud & Risk team as part of the Ongoing Monitoring team. This team will focus on protecting Tide’s growing Merchant Acquiring business by reducing acquiring fraud, chargeback losses and operational risk across card-present and card-not-present payment journeys.
Merchant Acquiring is a fast-growing product within Tide. We are on a mission to provide the simplest and easiest ways for our members to get paid. As we scale Acquiring globally, we need strong monitoring capabilities that protect Tide from avoidable losses while keeping the experience smooth for genuine members.
