He said that with online banking becoming increasingly popular these days, people should exercise special caution when conducting digital transactions. He urged residents not to share their ATM PIN and OTP with strangers.

He also provided information about the safe use of debit cards and the precautions to be taken during online banking. He also made villagers aware of the State Cooperative Bank’s mobile application, “Himpaisa,” through which money transactions can be conducted safely and conveniently from the comfort of their homes.
