  Reviewing possible suspicious activity as referred by internal departments and branches.Completing follow-up investigations after a has been filed on a customer or account.Escalating customer relationships to management for exit.Presenting investigation summaries to management for final decision on all exit and SAR recommendations. Reviewing potentially suspicious activity by completing Follow-Up Investigations after a SAR has been filed on a customer, Escalating customer relationships if warranted, and Initiating additional SAR filings with FinCEN if warranted. I review potentially suspicious transactions to determine if there is a legitimate reason for them, or if they are indeed suspicious. If a suspicious transaction is identified, I initiate the process to file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with FINCEN. I verify cash transactions over $10,000.00 to ensure that they are reported to the IRS correctly. I worked with Abandoned Funds, escheating accounts to the appropriate state. I also dealt with the bank's year end process, W-9s, W-8s, and 1099s. I provided customer service for M&T Bank's Online Banking. I reset passwords and security questions, assisted with troubleshooting and Bill Pay inquiries.
