The regulator warns that clicking suspicious links or scanning QR codes placed on such bills may result in the loss of funds. The National Bank therefore urges citizens to exercise caution when paying any bills.
- Information about debts and fines should be checked only through official websites.
- Banking apps must be used to confirm payments.
Key recommendations
According to the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic, to protect against loss of funds, citizens should check any debts and fines only through official resources and banking apps.
