Background of the Study
The Nigerian banking sector has faced significant challenges with fraud, which undermines financial stability and public trust. To combat these challenges, banks have implemented various anti-fraud mechanisms, including whistleblowing policies, fraud detection software, and robust internal audits (Okoro & Adegbite, 2023).
Polaris Bank, as a key player in the Nigerian banking sector, has been at the forefront of adopting anti-fraud measures. However, despite these efforts, instances of fraud persist, raising questions about the effectiveness of these mechanisms. This study evaluates the anti-fraud mechanisms implemented by Polaris Bank, identifying their strengths and weaknesses.
Statement of the Problem
Fraud continues to pose a threat to the Nigerian banking sector, with banks losing billions annually to fraudulent activities. Although Polaris Bank has implemented various anti-fraud mechanisms, the effectiveness of these measures remains unclear.
This study examines the anti-fraud mechanisms at Polaris Bank, identifying areas for improvement and proposing strategies to enhance their effectiveness (Adebayo & Olanrewaju, 2024).
