In support of the Diraya “Let’s Be Aware” campaign

• AbdulMohsen AlNassar: “I advise customers not to share their banking details with others.”

As part of its keenness to promote financial literacy in society, Gulf Bank continues to support the Diraya “Let’s Be Aware” campaign for the third consecutive year – by broadcasting and disseminating awareness and educational materials through social media, the Bank's website, and other channels.

The Diraya campaign is an awareness campaign initiated by the Central Bank of Kuwait and the Kuwait Banking Association. The campaign aims to spread financial literacy in society, raise awareness of the role of the banking sector, and promote the various services that banks offer to their customers.

Corporate Communications Officer at Gulf Bank, AbdulMohsen AlNassar, indicated that the bank spares no effort in supporting the goals of the Diraya campaign, by spreading awareness messages to customers and the public through its channels; especially when banking information and data protection is at stake.

AlNassar warned of the potential risks of not following security and safety instructions when processing banking transactions, advising customers not to provide any personal information about their accounts and transactions to unknown parties. He also recommended to avoid responding to anonymous messages from unknown origins, as they may violate data confidentiality and banking protection measures.

Furthermore, he advised customers not to share their banking data with anyone – pointing that there are many tricks followed by the occupiers to deceive customers, in order to obtain their banking data or OTP codes.

AlNassar also advised customers not to interact with anonymous emails in order to avoid fraud. In addition to ensuring that the websites being used are safe, and that the electronic payment gateway is approved.

Gulf Bank's vision is to be the leading Kuwaiti Bank of the Future. The Bank is constantly engaging and empowering its employees as part of an inclusive and diversified workplace in recognition of every employee’s role in delivering customer excellence and serving the community at large. With its extensive network of branches and innovative digital services, Gulf Bank is able to give its customers the choice of how and where to conduct their banking transactions, all while ensuring a simple and seamless banking experience.
