Project 2 details:
Client : Scotia Bank, Canada
Team Size : 03
Technology : Data Stage, UNIX, SQL
Database : DB2
Role : Data Stage Developer

Project 2 Summary:

Scotia bank is the business name of Bank of Nova Scotia in Canada. Project is RDC
which is part of Anti Money Laundering unit. Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) project
is an initiative within the Operational Efficiencies & Digitization, Banking Solution
under the Canadian Paper Cheque Processing Program.
The implementation of Remote Deposit Capture across channels provides customers
a more robust choice of deposit methods and increased convenience when using
chequesas well as malicious intentions increased methods and opportunities for
fraud. To mitigate the risk of fraud associated with this new feature, Scotiabank has
partnered with FIS and will be deploying the FIS Memento Bank Data Manager for
RDC cheque fraud prevention by producing fraud alerts and analytics from bank data
files.
Our project is to transform data as per FIS Memento Bank Data Manager
requirements and provide files to downstream which produces fraud alerts and
analytics from bank data files. As this project started from scratch, I had lot of scope
