flag UK banks warn customers to verify calls via a 2-second check to avoid fraud, using new tools like Call Checker and real-time alerts.

flag UK banks including Nationwide, Monzo, and Barclays are urging customers to use a quick 2-second check to verify calls and prevent fraud, following a rise in scam attempts. flag A new app feature, Call Checker, helps confirm if a caller is genuinely from the bank by displaying the agent’s name during a call. flag Other security tools include real-time alerts, one-time passcodes, facial recognition, and the ability to cancel payments within 60 seconds. flag Some banks also block transactions when remote access software is detected and allow users to designate trusted contacts for large transfers. flag Experts stress these simple steps can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized withdrawals.
