Equity Group is hiring top fraud busters barely a month after losing millions of shillings to fraudsters, pointing to the move by Kenya’s most profitable lender to bolster its anti-scam squad.
The lender, which recently raided the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) for talent to strengthen its internal controls, is taking a step further with the fresh hiring of at least eight key people to beef up its fraud detection and prevention team.
