As part of its continued commitment to educate and protect customers
from e-banking fraud, Africa’s largest retail bank, Access Bank Plc,

fraud, ATM fraud and POS fraud.

From all indications, the rates of phishing, SIM card fraud, ATM fraud
and POS fraud in the country has tripled in the past few years. Also,
the sophistication with which these activities are carried out
hasevolved, resulting in unsuspecting customers being highly
susceptible to these criminal activities.

Victor Etuokwu, ED Retail Banking stated, “In the past few years,
there has been a significant increase in the rate of internet-based
and technology-perpetrated fraud”. Headded “We want to ensure that our
customers are not only protected but are also aware of the tactics
employed by fraudsters. Access Bank will never request for personal
banking information such as your 16-digit card number, password, PIN,
BVN, CVV or One-Time Password (OTP). So, customers are also advised to
never share this information with anyone even if they claim to be from
the Bank”.

To report suspicious activities (phone calls, emails or text
messages), customers can call Access Bank on 01- 2712005 or send a
