HDFC Bank launches Secure Banking programme in Jammu

To roll out the programme across branches in Jammu

Jammu, Feb 21: HDFC Bank Ltd. today launched its Secure Banking programme at Jammu in Jammu & Kashmir. The initiative is part of HDFC Bank’s ongoing endeavour to create customer awareness about safe banking practices.
The programme will be rolled out across 29 branches in Jammu to educate customers and create awareness among general public.
At a function organized in the city, the initiative was launched by Mr.Zubair Iqbal, Circle Head - Jammu & Kashmir, HDFC Bank, in the presence of Mr. Sachin Mahajan and Mr.Parvinder Singh Sudan, Cluster Heads – Jammu Division, HDFC Bank, and other senior HDFC Bank officials.
The 'Secure Banking' initiative comprises a series of workshops, which educate customers through presentations, on matters they need to be careful about, while conducting banking transactions. This includes using netbanking, mobile apps, transacting at ATMs; using debit or credit cards at POS terminals, merchant outlets, and online banking.
These workshops are also open to the general public. Both customers and non-customers are welcome to attend the series of workshops, which will be conducted at various branches across India on a regular basis.
In addition to the branches, various other channels like ATM screens, mobile banking app, and the HDFC Bank website will be used to spread awareness about Secure Banking.
“Banking in India has made tremendous progress in the last two decades and it continues to evolve further. With the advent of technology, customers need to be educated on possible frauds they can fall prey to. An alert and well-informed customer is less likely to inadvertently disclose personal banking details. Through this simple presentation, which educates customers about the dos and don’ts they must follow while using these platforms with the help of real-life examples and case studies, we hope to create greater awareness of safe banking practices among general public,” says Mr. Zubair Iqbal, Circle Head - Jammu & Kashmir, HDFC Bank.
