What Is A Bamboo CIFAS Marker?
A Bamboo CIFAS marker is a fraud-risk record connected to application, account, product, transaction, affordability, or fraud investigation records. It is not a normal credit issue. It is a fraud-risk filing on the National Fraud Database and should be reviewed against the CIFAS category used, the records held by Bamboo, and the evidence relied on when the marker was filed.

In a Bamboo case, the marker may relate to:
- The application or onboarding process
- Affordability, income, or supporting information
- Transaction, account, or product records
- Identity or fraud prevention checks
- How the product, account, or facility was obtained or used
The key point is simple. Bamboo must be able to justify the marker with evidence, not suspicion, assumption, or a general account concern.
