Protect Yourself from Fraud
Fraudsters may be targeting you—stay vigilant.
At NBF, safeguarding your banking security is a top priority. In collaboration with the UAE Banks Federation (UBF), the Central Bank of the UAE, local authorities, and TDRA, the National Fraud Awareness Campaign aims to educate and protect customers from financial cybercrime.
Common Fraud Types
Stay Safe Online
Cybercriminals often impersonate banks and officials to steal personal and financial details, making it essential to understand fraud and scams. Fraud involves unauthorised transactions, while scams trick individuals into sending payments to criminals.
NBF will never:
• Ask you to transfer money for security.
• Request your PIN, OTP or passwords.
• Send payment links via text or email.
• Ask for remote access to your banking.

STOP – Think before sharing details. Verify requests.
CHALLENGE – If it feels suspicious, refuse and report it.
REPORT – Contact NBF at fraud@nbfislamic.ae or call 8000NBF(623). Report cybercrime to Dubai Police eCrime immediately.
