Bank Korea, ‘bank impersonation voice phishing’ prevention phone number verification service

The Federation of Banks announced that it has started a ‘verification of bank phone numbers’ service to prevent damage from fraudulent cases such as voice phishing impersonating a bank.

Bank consumers will be able to determine whether the suspected phone number is actually a used bank phone number on the website of the Federation of Banks in the future.

The Federation of Banks expects that the safety net to prevent voice phishing damage will be further strengthened by allowing bank users to directly check the authenticity of a phone number in real time.
