• Responding to member enquiries by telephone, email and face to face, providing a helpful and professional service.

• Reviewing Bacs reports and preparing financial reports for internal teams.

• Carrying out anti-money laundering (AML) and fraud checks, escalating any concerns appropriately.

• Maintaining accurate records and handling information securely in accordance with data protection requirements.
