Eurasian Bank reminds customers to take precautions at transferring bank cards, account details and other data, including payment data, to third parties.

Additionally, we note that the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan introduced criminal liability for transfers and payments in the interests of third parties for remuneration or for the purpose of receiving it.

Safety recommendations:
∙ Do not transfer the card and its details to unauthorized persons.
∙ Do not accept offers to “earn money” by transferring the card or its data for use.
∙ Do not transfer money to third-party accounts at the request of strangers, even for a fee.
∙ If you have any doubts, contact the Bank or law enforcement agencies.

Responsibility under Article 232-1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan:
∙ Up to 3 years in prison for illegally providing access to one’s bank account.
∙ Up to 5 years in prison for transfers and payments in the interests of third parties.
∙ Up to 7 years in prison – for organizers (so-called drop guides) who are looking for intermediaries for fraudulent schemes.

For reference:
∙ A dropper is a person who, for a fee, provides his/her account or card for receiving and transferring funds, often obtained fraudulently.
∙ A drop-maker is an organizer who recruits droppers, often through ads for “easy money”.

In order to prevent such offenses, Eurasian Bank released a series of videos on various types of fraud, including schemes involving droppers and the transfer of bank cards to third parties.

Your card is your responsibility.

Take care of your money and don’t fall for questionable offers.
