BNK Busan Bank (President Bang Seongbin), in cooperation with the Financial Supervisory Service, conducted a campaign to prevent voice phishing and electronic financial fraud at the site of the 'Busan Sea Festival' held at Dadaepo on August 1 and 2.


This campaign was organized to inform citizens about ▲methods used in voice phishing ▲guidelines on how to respond in the event of damage ▲ways to deal with the installation of malicious apps. It was promoted to raise awareness of the recent increase in sophisticated and advanced voice phishing methods, such as smishing disguised as card issuance, and the resulting rise in damages.


Busan Bank distributed desk pads containing information on how to prevent financial fraud and mobile phone stickers with reporting phone numbers to citizens who visited the event, providing guidance on fraud prevention. The bank also assisted with enrollment in voice phishing damage prevention insurance, which covers up to 5 million won in the event of online financial fraud.



Moon Jeongwon, Chief Consumer Protection Officer (CCO) of Busan Bank, stated, "As financial fraud methods become increasingly sophisticated, anyone can become a victim," and added, "Busan Bank will continue prevention activities close to daily life to protect our customers' valuable assets."
