This move follows the Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry’s tightening screening of mobile numbers to deal with online scammers.
Under the move, notifications have been issued to mobile banking users whose name is unmatched with a SIM card or SIM owner data has been lost via mobile banking application on February 1, and they must update their data at banks or mobile operators by April 30 this year.
The bank said on Sunday that a list of customers who use its K Plus, K Plus SME, Line BK and Make by KBank will be announced on February 17, so they can update their data to prevent account suspension.
