Dear customers of Halyk Bank JSC, in order to prevent fraudulent money transfer operations, we ask you to follow a few simple security measures:
1. When making transfers, do not disclose transfer details to third parties (either partially or completely, including the transfer number).
2. Be careful when processing a transfer, make sure that no one can overhear/see the transfer information, as fraudsters may forge documents to receive the transfer using this information. Keep transfer details in a place inaccessible to third parties.
3. Avoid sending transfers to unfamiliar individuals. Remember that in this case you may become a victim of fraud. Send funds to people you know and trust.
4. If you receive a request from an unfamiliar person to provide a copy of the transfer request or other information about the transaction – immediately stop communicating with this person, as this is likely an attempt to defraud you. Money transfers, under no circumstances, can be used as proof of solvency.
5. Do not send money transfers long before they are to be received, for example, when planning a trip abroad. Money transfer services allow you to receive a transfer within 10-15 minutes.
6. Do not respond to calls/emails/SMS messages received from a person claiming to be from the Bank regarding the need to send/receive a transfer. The Bank does not call customers or send messages/SMS about sending/receiving a transfer.
7. Do not respond to calls/emails/SMS messages informing you that you have won a lottery/prize, for which you need to send a certain amount of money to process, pay taxes, customs duties, etc.
