Woori Bank is expanding its collaboration with police to enhance its financial fraud prevention system. The bank plans to focus on sharing information about financial scams and establishing an immediate cooperation system to prevent voice phishing incidents.
On July 12, Woori Bank announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Gangbuk Police Station to prevent customer losses from voice phishing and other telecommunication financial fraud.
This agreement follows the establishment of a cooperation system with the Jungbu Police Station earlier this year. The bank aims to gradually expand its regional cooperation model with police across the country to build a comprehensive financial fraud prevention network.
The two organizations will collaborate in various areas, including sharing the latest financial fraud techniques and victim cases, conducting joint prevention activities, and operating tailored educational programs. This partnership aims to strengthen the fraud prevention network and focus on protecting customers from potential losses.
In particular, a dedicated communication system will be established to ensure immediate interaction when a customer is suspected of being involved in voice phishing or other financial fraud. This close cooperation is expected to help block the withdrawal of stolen funds and minimize further damage, allowing for swift protection of victims.
This MOU marks the first external collaboration project led by Jeon Jae-hong, Woori Bank's Chief Financial Fraud Prevention Officer, who is the first police officer to join the banking sector. Since his arrival, Woori Bank has been integrating his field experience and expertise into its fraud prevention efforts, moving beyond traditional transaction monitoring systems to establish a more proactive response framework.
Jeon Jae-hong stated, "The speed of initial response to financial fraud determines the scale of damage, making a collaborative system between police and financial institutions crucial. We will strive to establish a nationwide cooperation framework to protect our customers' valuable assets."
