At a meeting of the committee of the Jogorku Kenesh, which deals with issues of finance, budget, and entrepreneurship, deputy Dastan Bekeshev proposed introducing limits on the amounts of transfers made through bank terminals.

As an example, he recounted a recent case of fraud that affected a citizen of Kyrgyzstan in January of this year.

“A woman received a call from someone claiming to be bank and GKNB employees, who sent her the technical passport of her apartment, asserting that her property had been re-registered to another person. After that, she was advised to contact a real estate agency. As a result, she, unaware of the deception, sold her apartment and transferred 10 million 600 thousand soms through the terminal,” the deputy reported.

Bekeshev believes that it is necessary to establish limits on one-time transfers through terminals, for example, not allowing transfers over one million soms.

“I understand when transfers are made for amounts around 10 thousand soms. However, ordinary citizens are unlikely to transfer one million soms to each other through a terminal. This looks suspicious,” emphasized Dastan Bekeshev.

Representatives of the National Bank agreed to study this issue.

Committee members also discussed the implementation of the Jogorku Kenesh resolution regarding measures to combat fraud in the banking sector and the internet.
