The four major telecom operators and the major banks have agreed on call tagging.
In the near future, all calls from these banks will be flagged, the Ministry for Digital Development reported.
When calling from a bank, the name of the financial organization on whose behalf the interlocutor is calling will be displayed on the smartphone screen. Marking will help customers distinguish between real calls from banks and attempts by fraudsters to impersonate employees of institutions.
"This will help citizens identify calls and reduce the risk of being deceived by criminals posing as employees of financial institutions," the department noted.
We previously wrote about how market participants could not agree on labeling: the banks insisted that the labeling is the operator's responsibility, and he must pay. And a block to refuse a contract is illegal.
