Assess whether a payment hold survives a customer complaint after a mule

Situation

Payments Fraud work in a mortgage correspondent channel now turns on a payment hold survives because a mule account receiving 14 unrelated payrolls in a week put check-kiting multi-bank float map in play. Synthetic-identity detection manager should say what check-kiting multi-bank float map proves.

Decision

Synthetic-identity detection manager in a mortgage correspondent channel must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using check-kiting multi-bank float map after a mule account receiving 14 unrelated payrolls in a week.

Hypotheses to test

• A mule account receiving 14 unrelated payrolls in a week is noise around an already-controlled Payments Fraud process in a mortgage correspondent channel, given check-kiting multi-bank float map.
• A mule account receiving 14 unrelated payrolls in a week is the event in check-kiting multi-bank float map that forces Remove access or reverse the item for synthetic-identity detection manager under Fraud Detection.
• Check-kiting multi-bank float map shows a one-file miss after a mule account receiving 14 unrelated payrolls in a week, not a Payments Fraud program failure.
• Check-kiting multi-bank float map cannot decide a payment hold survives yet after a mule account receiving 14 unrelated payrolls in a week; hold is the only Fraud Detection close a mortgage correspondent channel can defend.

Analysis required

• Trace funds, counterparties, and reversals in check-kiting multi-bank float map through the window opened by a mule account receiving 14 unrelated payrolls in a week.
• Quantify loss if the hold is released before check-kiting multi-bank float map is complete.
• Test a one-off dispute against the first edge of a scheme around a payment hold survives.
• For this Fraud Detection Payments Fraud file, read check-kiting multi-bank float map against a mule account receiving 14 unrelated payrolls in a week and write the one fact that would move a payment hold survives for synthetic-identity detection manager.
