FNB Eswatini has taken proactive steps to safeguard the public against financial crime by capacitating employees from Fashion International and Sigma Textile on how to detect, prevent, and report financial fraud.
With the festive season in full swing, the bank emphasized that scammers often intensify and diversify their tactics during this period, targeting unsuspecting individuals through sophisticated schemes, social engineering, and digital fraud attempts. The awareness initiative aimed to ensure that workers are informed, vigilant, and confident in protecting themselves, their families, and their finances.
During the engagement sessions, FNB Eswatini specialists covered key topics including common fraud trends, safe banking practices, online and mobile security, and how to verify suspicious transactions or communications. Participants were encouraged to adopt stronger digital security habits, avoid sharing confidential information, and remain cautious of “too good to be true” offers, unsolicited calls, and phishing messages.
FNB Eswatini reiterated its commitment to championing financial security across the country by continuously educating the public and strengthening awareness campaigns. The bank further urged emaSwati to remain alert, report suspected fraud immediately, and use secure banking channels at all times.
As the festive season continues, FNB Eswatini’s message remains clear: stay informed, stay alert, and stay safe.
