Team: FinCrime Requests

Our mission is to be the first point of contact for any external investigations involving Wise's customers, efficiently processing requests from partner banks, law enforcement, and other authorities while catching suspicious activities that our internal systems might miss.

In our strategic vision, we've identified key pillars:

Intelligent Request Processing: Improve manual, email-based request handling with automated systems using LLMs and enhanced data processing - targeting 90% automation for Law Enforcement cases and significant improvements for Partner Bank RFIs
Customer Experience Enhancement: Reduce transaction suspensions and customer friction by building better escalation logic, faster processing times, and improved risk assessment
Intelligence Feedback Integration: Use external investigation data to provide insights that can strengthen Wise's internal AML, fraud, and sanctions controls
Our next strategic goals revolve around building a unified request handling platform, exploring self-service capabilities for partners, and achieving sub-1-hour end-to-end processing for 80% of cases.
