VTB Online is expanding its self-restriction service to protect customers from fraudsters. Now, in a few clicks, you can ban remote registration of consumer loans, car loans in cash, and early withdrawal of money from a deposit. This will help VTB customers protect their money, even if intruders gain access to the application. This is stated in the message of the bank.
Even under the influence of scammers, the client will not be able to quickly complete the operation that he has set self—restraint on, for example, to take out a loan and transfer money. The ban can only be lifted in person at a bank branch. This increases the chances that, with the help of bank employees and loved ones, the client will get out from under the influence of fraudsters before giving them their own and borrowed funds.
This year, VTB has already introduced the possibility of prohibiting the withdrawal and crediting of funds using a QR code at ATMs to protect against fraudsters who, after gaining access to online banking, withdraw money from accounts through an ATM. The ban on making loans and early closing of deposits will significantly expand the security of using the application — today these operations are often the target of intruders.
You can set self-restrictions in the "Security" section of VTB Online.
