      Society The Central Bank of Russia has developed a list of indicators that will be used to detect fraudulent actions when cashing out funds via ATMs. This was reported by the TV channel "360".

      This list, consisting of nine items, will help credit institutions more effectively monitor suspicious transactions.

      Key criteria include unusual customer behavior when withdrawing money, changes in phone call activity in the six hours before the transaction, an increase in the cash withdrawal limit, and withdrawals within 24 hours after receiving a loan or credit.

      Banks will also take into account the time of day when the request was made, the ATM's location, the frequency of requests, and the withdrawal amount.

      Special attention will be paid to information about changes in the characteristics of the phone used for cash withdrawals, the presence of viruses on the device, and the customer receiving a large number of short messages.

      Another important sign of fraud is five or more cash withdrawal refusals in one day due to an incorrect PIN or exceeding the credit limit.

      These measures are aimed at increasing security and preventing financial crimes related to cash withdrawals via ATMs. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has a Telegram channel.
