Customer service professional specializing in payments, fraud resolution, and account management.
What I'm looking for
I am a customer-service professional with proven experience in payments, fraud resolution and account management across financial services and retail.
I consistently process card payments, activate and replace cards, handle disputes, and review transactions while answering high-volume inbound calls. I prioritize accuracy and speed—typing 45+ WPM, ten-key data entry, and strong Microsoft Office skills support my work.
I thrive under pressure, work independently or on teams, and focus on resolving fraud and billing issues to protect customers and company assets. I seek roles where I can apply my investigative mindset and grow in payments operations or fraud prevention.
