“From October 1, 2022, customers will be able to independently set a ban on online transactions in the bank where they are served or limit their parameters - the maximum amount for one transaction or a limit for a certain period of time,” the regulator said in a statement.
It is noted that it is possible to establish a ban on remote channels for individual services, such as transfers, online lending, or for all operations.
Also, for additional protection of customers from the actions of cyber fraudsters, from October 1, banks will be required to identify all devices from which citizens make online transactions, confirm their phone numbers and email addresses.
Earlier, the Bank of Russia proposed a self-prohibition mechanism for issuing loans to counter fraudsters.
Oleg Sedov, Development Director for Cyber Literacy of the Population at RTK-Solar, talked to Nation News about ways to protect against fraudsters.
