Nepal Investment Bank Limited (NIBL) requests its users not to provide banking passwords and any sort of data to anyone. NIBL has urged no one to provide any of the information related to banking service to anyone.

The bank requested the customers to be aware that cybercriminals are using this unprecedented situation to commit crimes and the cyber-security is under attack during the lockdown. It has made it clear that no one at the bank has asked for the confidential details including ATM PINs, mobile banking passwords, PINs, by calling the customer. It also stated that no one from the bank is permitted to do so.

The bank has urged the bank customers to be very cautious as such calls may have been made by frauds claiming to be the bank representative to get the credentials that can be used to withdraw the money from the bank without customers’ consent. Providing the details may cause severe damage to the bank account.

The bank has also requested its customers to inform the bank immediately if they see any suspicious activities in their bank account.
