(c) an unauthorized account or a fictitious account to be debited or credited;
(3) voice instructions or advices having been transmitted to the Insured or its agent(s) by telephone;
and provided further, the fraudulent entry or change is made or caused by an individual acting with the manifest intent to:

(ii) obtain financial benefit for that
individual or for other persons intended by that individual to receive financial benefit,
