Through this feature,\nthe application cannot be accessed when the user\u2019s phone is receiving an\nincoming call. BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo stated that this\ninnovation serves as a preventive step to anticipate the proliferation\nof fraud methods that exploit telephone communication. \u201cWe are\npresenting this feature as a preventive measure to protect customers\nfrom various fraud methods that utilise telephone communication,\u201d said\nOkki. He explained that when the phone receives an incoming call, the\nwondr by BNI application will automatically lock and display a\nnotification \u2018Finish Your Call First\u2019. Thus, customers cannot conduct\ntransactions during the call. According to Okki, this feature is\ndesigned to reduce fraud risks that often occur when perpetrators ask\nvictims to stay on the phone line while directing them to perform\ntransactions or share sensitive data. In practice, fraudsters typically\nrequest secret information such as OTP codes, PINs, passwords, and other\npersonal data that can be used to access customer accounts. \u201cWith this\nlatest feature, wondr can help customers safeguard their personal data.\nWe also urge customers not to provide secret information to any party,\nincluding those claiming to represent BNI,\u201d emphasised Okki. BNI views\nthe strengthening of security systems as an important part of banking\ndigital transformation, in line with the increasing digital transaction\nactivities in society. Through this innovation, BNI reaffirms its\ncommitment to continuously providing secure, convenient, and\nuser-friendly digital banking services, while also increasing customer\nawareness of various potential cybercrimes.<\/p>",
