OREANDA-NEWS. October 17, 2012. It was not long time ago when staff members of the Security Service of Finance and Credit Bank detained a card fraudster in custody and brought him over to the law enforcement authority. The offender belonged to a criminal group specialising in hacking distance service systems of Ukrainian banks. Nine card fraudsters of this group made an attempt to withdraw over UAH 2.6 million in an unauthorised manner, however this did not happen thanks to immediate actions of the specialists from the Security Service of Finance and Credit Bank .

Oleg Shevchuk, Head of Card Business Security Department of Finance and Credit Bank, is quoted as saying that one of top priorities in the work of his department is protection and safekeeping of funds placed by customer of the Bank. Apart from that, the Card Business Security Department actively contributes to the effort of other Ukrainian banks to mitigate the loss incurred by their customers. Over the past three months there have been three attemps to hack the distance customer service systems of Ukrainian banks and to transfer the stolen money to accounts held by customers of other Ukrainian banks, including those of Finance and Credit Bank. It was the well-coordinated work of Finance and Credit Bank Security Service professionals that made it possible to prevent yet another card fraud and secure money of our customers.

Prevention of financial losses is a credit to well-coordinated system of interaction between Finance and Credit Bank Security Service and Security Services of other Ukrainian banks.
