Security Tips Protecting your financial identity
Advance Fee Fraud
Don’t accept suspicious transfers to your bank account
In advance fee frauds, fraudsters seek your permission to transfer funds to your account from a wealthy benefactor.
In such cases, you will be approached through a letter, fax, email or telephone from someone claiming to be a senior bank official. Victims are repeatedly requested to part with sums of money in order to help the transfer process and, as the fraud progresses, a considerable amount of money is lost. The promised transfer, of course, never happens.
Do
- Always be wary of unsolicited emails offering large sums of money.
- Inform suspicious activities to our Contact Centre on 600 50 2030.
Don’t
- Give out your Card number, PIN or account information through unsolicited emails.
- Transfer money as instructed in these emails.
- Respond to suspicious emails.
