Written by Insight & Partnership Team | Apr 10, 2024 2:18:00 PM

The Charter has four principles for participating institutions:

  • A ban on sending any instant electronic messages to customers with embedded hyperlinks;
  • Collaboration to raise public awareness of credit card scams and other digital frauds;
  • The provision of contact information on suitable channels for customers to make enquiries; and
  • The implementation of relevant training to frontline staff.

Firms can view the second edition of the Charter to remain attuned to ongoing regulatory anti-fraud and scam initiatives and expectations.
