Tengrinews.kz - Kazakhstan’s Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market (ARDFM) has released a draft resolution introducing changes aimed at combating fraud in the banking sector.
What is a Dropper?
The draft introduces a new term: dropper. According to the ARDFM document, a dropper refers to individuals or entities who assist fraudsters by providing their personal data and withdrawing stolen funds for a fee.
The resolution also suggests requiring banks to send a one-time code to the client’s mobile device when applying for online loans. Additionally, banks must enable a feature in their mobile apps for reporting fraudulent activities.
The public discussion of the draft resolution will continue until November 26.
Who are Droppers?
Droppers, or drops, are voluntary accomplices of fraudsters whose main role is to facilitate illegal transactions. They do so by providing their bank cards and personal data, such as account details, logins, and passwords, which are then used for illicit financial operations.
Droppers are often young people or even pensioners, sometimes misled by fraudsters. They open bank accounts, either physical or virtual, and hand over their credentials to fraudsters in exchange for compensation. Importantly, droppers do not initiate fraudulent schemes but act under the instructions of scammers.
This initiative is part of broader efforts to enhance financial security and prevent the misuse of banking systems in Kazakhstan.
