BNK Gyeongnam Bank Prevents Face-to-Face Voice Phishing Crimes

ATM Cardless Deposit Limit Reduced to 500,000 KRW per Transaction

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] BNK Gyeongnam Bank is presenting measures to actively respond to new types of voice phishing fraud crimes that have evolved from account transfer types to face-to-face extortion types.

BNK Gyeongnam Bank announced on the 20th that it has reduced the ATM (Automated Teller Machine) cardless deposit limit to eradicate voice phishing crimes.

The ATM cardless deposit method, which allows cash deposits by entering an account number without using a card or passbook, has reduced the deposit limit from 1 million KRW per transaction to 500,000 KRW.

Also, the amount that could be received without limit through ATM cardless deposits has been restricted to a daily limit of 3 million KRW.

However, when depositing at an ATM using a card or passbook, the limit remains unchanged with no restrictions.

For more details about the reduction of the ATM cardless deposit limit, customers can contact the BNK Gyeongnam Bank Customer Center.

Kim Yang-sook, Executive Director and Chief Consumer Officer (CCO) in charge of financial consumer protection, said, “The ATM cardless deposit method has been used as a means to transfer funds obtained through face-to-face extortion, so we have reduced the ATM cardless deposit limit to restrict this. This is a measure to eradicate voice phishing crimes and to comply with government policies. BNK Gyeongnam Bank plans to continuously introduce measures to respond to evolving voice phishing crimes.”

BNK Gyeongnam Bank is actively responding at the headquarters and branch levels to prevent customers and local residents from suffering damage from voice phishing and various financial frauds.

Last month, employees working at the Daewoo Shipbuilding Sales Office and Sacheon Branch received a ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ for their contribution to preventing voice phishing.
