1. EFFICIENCY

“The fastest way is to call the hotline of the Bank. We recommend you to save phone number in contacts mobile, not to spend time searching for which can be charged, — advise in a press-service of UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group. — After a call and identification of its customer, a Bank employee will immediately block the payment card”.

If it is proved that the operation was carried out by fraud, the damage is indemnified by the Bank in full.
