Airtel Digital Fraud: Digital fraud and online scams are increasing rapidly in India. Every day, somewhere or the other, an incident of online fraud is coming to light. Everyone from small businessmen to big professionals are becoming its victims. In such an environment, keeping a second bank account can be a very effective option to ensure your financial security, so that everyday digital transactions can be done safely and in which the risk of keeping a limited amount of money is also reduced.
Giving priority to customer security, Airtel has introduced a robust solution, Airtel Payments Bank. It not only provides an easy and secure banking facility but also plays an important role in protecting the main bank account from cyber frauds. The company is advising consumers to create a separate and secure “second account” for digital payments so that the main account is not exposed to any kind of online threat.
Airtel Vice Chairman and Managing Director Gopal Vittal has issued a letter appealing to customers to remain alert. He said that online fraud is increasing nowadays with the help of new technologies, fake parcel delivery, sending links in the name of winning prizes and cheating people by showing fear of digital arrest are the main ones.
He said: “Any fraud incident that occurs on the Airtel network pains us. Therefore, your security is our top priority. We are the first telco in the world to provide AI based spam call and message alerts. We have developed technology to block fake links even when they are clicked.” He further said that the biggest reason for fraud is that most of the people use their main bank account for every small and big payment, due to which even a small mistake can put their entire savings at risk.
Airtel Payments Bank aims to offer customers a payments-focused account that:
Customers can open a new account with Airtel Thanks App in just a few minutes. The process is very simple, complete KYC, set mPIN and start digital transactions instantly by adding money.
