Job Summary

As a field verification officer, you would be responsible for carrying out different kinds of field verifications, leveraging your experience and our standard operating procedures to help in identifying and eliminating potential default red flags before the disbursement of a loan facility or in verification of general KYC information of customers, employees, or any other relevant parties.

You would also be responsible for making deductions from several information sources at the various verification locations to ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of the information being verified.

You should be very creative, meticulous, and observant, collecting any data outside of the standard required information that may be relevant to the verification in question. You are expected to work with the highest integrity, as any falsified information provided during verification would be considered fraud and the relevant legal processes would be initiated.
