There are reports indicating that a significant bank is taking measures to ensure justice. Below are the latest updates on the matter.
Important Australian Bank takes drastic measures
The National Australia Bank, one of the largest banks in the country, has announced a new policy that will come into effect in November. This policy aims to protect customers from harm by flagging transactions that involve certain types of “unacceptable account conduct”.
The bank’s system will automatically scan transactions for any banned words in the description, including those that are profane, derogatory, discriminatory, or harassing.
If such language is detected, the transaction may be blocked, and the customer’s account may be frozen or terminated.
NAB will contact customers to request a change in the description, and will investigate if there is any instance where an account is being used in a way that could be considered financially abusive.
The bank aims to identify transactions that may be related to elder abuse, domestic violence, bullying, or any other type of harassment.
A team of specialists will review information on blocked transactions, provide warnings, and refer customers to support services. Furthermore, colleagues are receiving additional training to offer even more support to customers.
To address the unlawful use of NAB’s electronic banking channels, the bank has introduced an acceptable electronic banking use policy.
This policy prohibits making threatening or abusive comments towards any person. NAB reserves the right to terminate banking services for this kind of behavior.
The system of National Australia Bank scans every transaction description automatically to detect a list of approximately 1,300 prohibited words.
According to the bank, this step is one of several measures taken to safeguard customers, and it has been preventing transactions that it deems abusive since the end of 2020.
