Will BBVA customers have to get used to a new change in the mobile app? If you are someone who frequently makes bank transfers, it is very important that you find out about the modifications that could be applied soon, especially if you take screenshots when making these transactions. Learn about the measures that would be implemented for account holders.
Bank transfers are one of the most common transactions Mexicans make when buying a product or service; it is a safe and practical method for sending money from one account to another, without using cash and in a digital way.
In recent days, users on social media have reported a message that BBVA sends them when they try to take a screenshot of a transfer they are about to make or have just made. What does the bank say and what is it warning about?
“Protect your data. For your security, screenshots will no longer be available soon. To send receipts, account numbers, or card numbers, you still have the ‘share’ or ‘copy’ options in your app,” the message reads.
It is expected that this measure to prevent taking screenshots will strengthen the security of banking operations and protect users' financial information.
It is important to mention that screenshots can contain sensitive information that, if it falls into the hands of criminals through device theft or malicious applications, could be used to commit fraud or identity theft attempts.
¿Ya no habrá capturas de pantalla para las transferencias?
No, although BBVA did not specify when it will block this action completely.
However, users will still be able to obtain the receipt for each transfer through the options offered by the application, such as:
- Descargar el comprobante en formato digital.
- Consultar el historial de movimientos.
¿Cómo hacer una transferencia bancaria?
- Accede a la app de tu banco
- Selecciona la opción de transferir e ingresa los datos del destinatario
- Escribe el número de cuenta, CLABE interbancaria o tarjeta de la persona que va a recibir el dinero, además del nombre del banco de destino
- Coloca la cantidad y el motivo
- Confirma la operación y guarda tu comprobante.
¿Por qué los bancos están reforzando la seguridad?
Financial institutions have increased protection measures due to the rise in digital fraud and the theft of banking information.
