Lendable is on a mission to build the world's best technology to help people get credit and save money. We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:
One of the UK’s newest unicorns with a team of just over 700 people
Among the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK
Profitable since 2017
Backed by top investors including Balderton Capital and Goldman Sachs
Loved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot)
So far, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards and car finance. We get money into our customers’ hands in minutes instead of days.
We’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.
Take ownership across a broad remit. You are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of Lendable from day 1
Work in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo
Build the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting
We are looking for a meticulous and curious Fraud Investigations Associate to serve as our primary defense against identity theft and organized fraud rings. While our FinCrime team sets the high-level policy, you are the investigator in the trenches, identifying synthetic identities and stopping fraudsters before they can enter our ecosystem.
In this role, you will handle the "pre-onboarding" and "post-onboarding" lifecycle for both our U.S. personal loans and credit card products. You’ll be tasked with uncovering complex fraud patterns—ranging from simple ID theft to sophisticated, large-scale fraud rings. This is a role for someone who loves "connecting the dots" and protecting both the company’s bottom line and our customers' identities.
Identity & Application Fraud: Investigate suspicious applications at the point of onboarding to detect synthetic identities and third-party identity theft.
Special Investigations: Conduct deep-dive investigations into suspected fraud rings and organized criminal activity, collaborating closely with senior leadership on high-stakes cases.
Case Management & KYC: Manage the end-to-end investigation of suspicious activity. Gather "Know Your Customer" (KYC) documentation and prepare comprehensive case files for SAR consideration by the 2LoD team.
Screening: Perform the initial clearing of Sanctions and PEP alerts, ensuring we are not facilitating prohibited transactions.
Consumer Protection: Handle CFPB and Credit Reporting Agency (CRA) disputes specifically related to fraud claims, ensuring fair and timely resolution for victims of identity theft.
Customer Outreach: Communicate directly with U.S. consumers to verify identity details and confirm the legitimacy of high-risk applications.
Investigative Grit: 2+ years of experience in fraud investigations, specifically within U.S. fintech, personal loans, or credit cards. Or, equivalent FinCrime investigative experience in US Law Enforcement.
Technical Literacy: Experience using identity verification tools like Alloy or Socure. You know how to read an identity report beyond just the "Pass/Fail" score. Familiar with ID databases, how to navigate them, and how to conduct thorough investigations for fraud patterns.
Detail Oriented: Ability to document complex investigations clearly so that business leadership, regulators and bank partners can easily follow your logic.
Regulatory Knowledge: Understanding of the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) and how it pertains to fraud disputes and consumer protection.
The opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies.
Best-in-class compensation, including equity.
You can work from home every Monday and Friday if you wish - on the other days, those based in the UK come together IRL at our Shoreditch office in London to be together, build and exchange ideas.
Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to whip up breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks in the office every Tuesday-Thursday.
We care for our Lendies’ well-being both physically and mentally, so we offer coverage when it comes to private health insurance
We're an equal-opportunity employer and are looking to make Lendable the most inclusive and open workspace in London
