Bank association warns of rising online fraud risks

January 20, 2025 – The Albanian Banking Association has raised the alarm over the growing threat of online fraud, warning citizens to be extra cautious with their personal data. Blerina Tusha from the association said that this issue is now a top concern for financial institutions, as the safety of customer information is at risk.

According to Tusha, fraudsters are using online shopping platforms and email services to trick people into revealing sensitive information. Victims often unknowingly share their card details and security codes, giving criminals access to their bank accounts.

“This is a real concern for us. We care about our clients. Some are falling for these scams, entering their card details and getting scammed,” Tusha explained.

The banking association is urging the public to stay vigilant and avoid sharing personal data on questionable websites. They stress the importance of checking the legitimacy of online platforms and using secure payment methods to protect against fraud.
