What a fintech or digital bank's scenario inventory has to reach

A digital bank has no branch cash, instant rails and a fast-growing customer base, so new-account, mule and scam scenarios matter most, and profile scenarios have little history to compare with.

Channels ticked by default: ACH and direct entry, domestic wires, real-time payments, person-to-person payments, debit and credit cards, prepaid and stored value and online and mobile banking. On those 7 default channels the coverage chart carries 33 typologies and 68 sectors; untick a channel and its column leaves the chart. Read a scenario list as this institution.
