# Customer Support ExecutiveFull-time Support Manchester Job Description We're on a mission to protect society from fraud and money laundering. We've already protected over 2 million people through life's big transactions.Fraud and regulation are rising, costing the UK economy over £100bn every year; this makes it more difficult for businesses to protect themselves and their clients - individuals like you and me - from fraud and money laundering.Our co-founders Olly and Jack were led to this area when a friend was defrauded of £25K when buying their first property. At the time, anti-fraud technology didn't exist, which meant that completing the anti-fraud checks required in these processes was largely manual.
