The central bank has instructed banks to ensure enough security for payment systems including ATM booths, Point of Sale (POS), Internet Banking, Online e-Payment Gateway and Mobile Financial Services (MFS).

In a circular, the BB instructed the banks to ensure adequate security at the ATM booths, create awareness among the merchants and clients to prevent forgery in POS services, keep on running the Two Factor Authentication (2FA) on Card not Present transactions for online e-Payment Gateway and inform the clients about transactions through SMS service.

It also instructed the banks to provide Help Line services during the vacation, if any client faces harassment.
