The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, along with police and banks, has stepped up anti-fraud measures by extending its suspicious account alert system to ATM transactions.





The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), in collaboration with the Hong Kong Police and the Hong Kong Bankers’ Association, announced the expansion of the Suspicious Account Alert System to cover transactions conducted at automated teller machines (ATMs). The initiative, scheduled to launch on December 8, 2024, involves 22 banks implementing alert mechanisms in their ATM networks, according to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

Enhanced Fraud Detection at ATMs

The enhanced alert system now includes real-time transfers and cash deposits performed at ATMs, which account for a significant portion of daily banking transactions. The goal of this expansion is to alert customers when a recipient’s account information is flagged as ‘high risk’ by Police’s Scameter, a tool designed to detect fraud and fraudulent activity. Customers will be informed of potential fraud risks before completing a transaction.

Background and previous steps

The initiative follows an alert mechanism introduced in November of the previous year and initially focused on transactions using Faster Payment System (FPS) proxy IDs. The system has since expanded to include internet banking and physical branch transactions. In the third quarter of this year alone, banks issued more than 24,000 warnings, successfully dissuading customers from proceeding with high-risk transactions.

Ongoing Fraud Prevention Efforts

HKMA emphasizes the importance of verifying payment details and the identity of the recipient before completing a transaction. Authorities advise customers to terminate the transaction immediately if they have any doubts. The HKMA is committed to working with the police and banking industry to assess and strengthen anti-fraud measures to effectively combat digital fraud.

The expansion of the Suspicious Account Alert system reflects Hong Kong’s proactive approach to safeguarding financial transactions and protecting citizens from the growing threat of digital fraud.
