Recognising Impersonation Scams

Recognising Impersonation Scams

Fraudsters frequently rely on urgency, deception and false authority to compromise your accounts.

  • Be Aware



    Key red flags to monitor:

    • Unsolicited Financial Offers
      Unexpected communications promoting loans, credit cards or unusually high-return investment opportunities.

    • Requests for Confidential Information
      Requests for passwords, account numbers, One-Time Passwords (OTPs) or other sensitive information via phone, email, WhatsApp, SMS or social media.

    • Unauthorised Use of Branding
      Watch for AfrAsia Bank logos that appear distorted, blurred, or low-quality.

    • Pressure Tactics
      Urgent demands to transfer funds, verify your credentials or take immediate action under the threat of account restrictions or suspension.



    How to verify authentic bank communications:

    • We Never Ask for Confidential Information
      AfrAsia Bank will never ask you to share your One-Time Passwords (OTPs), PIN or password by email, WhatsApp, SMS, social media, or through an unsolicited phone call under any circumstance. If you receive such a request, even if it appears to come from us, treat it as fraudulent.

    • Official Email Domain
      Verify that emails originate only from an @afrasiabank.com address. Fraudsters often register look-alike domain names to imitate our brand—for example, using "affrasiabank.com" (with two fs) instead of "afrasiabank.com". Always check the spelling of the domain name carefully before clicking a link or entering your details.

    • Encrypted Website
      Access your accounts only through our official Online Banking portal. Always ensure the website address begins with https:// before entering your credentials. The "s" in https indicates that the connection is encrypted and secure.

    Direct contact
    If an interaction cannot be verified, disconnect immediately and contact your dedicated Relationship Manager.
