Accounts may be blocked: Ukrainians warned about verification in banks.

Ukrainian banks are offering clients to go through identification to confirm personal data, reports the YouTube channel 'People's Opinion'.

According to the new memorandum on financial monitoring, financial institutions are implementing an updated user verification system - both pensioners and regular clients.

To go through identification, clients have to choose one of three options: visit a bank branch with documents, provide permission to obtain data through the 'Diia' application, or send photocopies of documents via the bank's application.

'Many people perceive such messages as spam and do not respond to them, not realizing the possible consequences for accessing their own funds,' experts from the channel note.

Experts recommend carefully checking the source of messages about identification, as fraudsters may use this situation for their own purposes. According to the new rules, banks will have the opportunity to conduct verification periodically - approximately once a year or two.

It is also known that banking restrictions had a reverse effect on clients' cards.
