At a meeting of the committee of the Jogorku Kenesh on financial, budgetary, and entrepreneurial issues, deputy Dastan Bekeshev proposed introducing restrictions on the amounts of transfers made through banking terminals.

As an example, he mentioned a case of fraud that occurred in January of this year, when one of the citizens of Kyrgyzstan became a victim.

“She received a call from someone claiming to be employees of the bank and the GKNB, and they sent her the technical passport for her apartment, stating that it had been re-registered to another person. As a result, she sold her own property and transferred 10 million 600 thousand soms through the terminal,” the deputy reported.

Bekeshev expressed his belief that limits should be established on one-time transfers, for example, no more than one million soms, to prevent such situations.

“I understand when someone transfers 10 thousand soms. But it is unlikely that ordinary people will be transferring one million soms to each other through a terminal. This raises suspicions,” he added.

Representatives of the National Bank promised to consider this issue.

During the meeting, committee members also discussed the implementation of a resolution of the Jogorku Kenesh regarding measures to combat fraud in the banking sector and the internet.
