Webster Bank, a leading regional bank, earlier in December announced the promotion of Kim Syrop to senior vice president, fraud mitigation and loss management. In this role, Syrop is responsible for the bank’s fraud prevention strategies as well as investigation and recovery of losses, all of which require her to work closely with local and federal law enforcement in the prosecution of financial crimes.
Syrop joined Webster in February of 2007. Her previous experience includes extensive work in regulatory compliance, specifically with the Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money-Laundering.
Additionally, Syrop spent years in branch banking, credit card servicing, and telemarketing, where she was involved with recruiting, training, staff development, and project management.
“Webster always looks for ways to promote from within and Kim is another excellent example of our wealth of talent,” said Rose Gaidos, senior vice president, bank operations, security and facilities. “Kim’s promotion reflects her ongoing commitment to compliance and the protection of customers and their accounts.”
A resident of Orange, CT., Syrop is also a member of the executive board of the Connecticut Chapter of the International Association of Financial Crime Investigators (IAFCI) and a mentor with the Governor’s Prevention Partnership. She is a graduate of the University of Connecticut where she holds a bachelors degree.
