Our Mission

We're the Payments, Fraud and Financial Crime (PFFC) Value Stream and our vision is to promote social well-being for our customers by enabling them to make and receive payments and protect them from fraud and financial crime. We do this by supporting business areas in processing compliant, fast, secure, and flexible transaction management services and real time payments, and addressing rising threats from social engineering by implementing new and improved ways to meet our customer's needs.

Our team

As the Bank moves to building out a strategic roadmap, both from an application infrastructure and tooling, our team is embracing this and building capability to enable this transformation.
