UnionBank and Globe have recently signed an agreement that would enable data sharing if required for any investigation of online scams. The initiative aims to boost measures against scammers who prey on financial clients.
Through the agreement, Globe will disclose to UnionBank the personal information about mobile numbers potentially used by fraudsters, this include names, addresses, and contact details. This action is meant to further help in online banking fraud investigations as well as aid Globe detect illicit activity within its network.
Likewise, UnionBank will also share relevant information necessary to pursue investigations in accordance with the Data Privacy Act and the Data Sharing Agreement.
In an online news briefing last March 24th, Globe Chief Privacy Officer Irish S. Almeida noted that before the Globe-UnionBank partnership, a subscriber must first ask a law enforcement agency or court to get information about a suspected scammer account, which could take months.
“That takes quite a while, and sometimes the subscribers just give up, and they don’t pursue it anymore… With this, we’re going to be helping our subscribers really protect themselves from criminals.” – Irish S. Almeida, Globe Chief Privacy Officer
Moreover, Almeida mentioned that Globe has blocked about a billion spam messages and deactivated more than 5,000 mobile numbers that were discovered to have been involved in fraud schemes.
“We could warn our customers about these potential scammers,” expressedJose Paulo G. Rufo, UnionBank Chief Information Security Officer, in identifying fraudulent customers who hide behind prepaid mobile numbers.
With the combined data obtained, the two financial firms can monitor activities in their platforms such as usage patterns and mobile activities of scammers. Globe and UnionBank assure that whatever the result of this monitoring system will be forwarded to law enforcement agencies who will then investigate the matters further.
