Financial Fraud
How to avoid financial fraud?

- Ensure all notices received from the bank are correct.
- Do not deal with unlicensed or unauthenticated parties when implementing banking transactions.
- Minimize credit card use over the Internet; especially with unauthenticated websites.
- Keep your computer protection programs’ software up to date.
- Ensure updating information through official channels only: Customers can update their mobile numbers via SAIB ATMs, while updating the address can be done via our Internet Banking Channels.

- Always access the bank’s website directly.
- Download the bank’s application through a reliable source.
- Do not help unknown people in making any financial transaction from your account.
