Lines used in fake Fino Payments Bank calls and apps

Caller says to become a Fino merchant you must pay a registration deposit
Person at a counter asks you to enter your PIN on his device and walk away
Agent promises extra commission for transactions through a different app
Caller says an AEPS transaction is stuck and asks you to authenticate again with your fingerprint

How to verify it yourself

Fino Payments Bank services are used at local merchant points, so ask the point to show an identity from the bank before you transact. Keep your PIN private and never hand over your device. Becoming a merchant is arranged through the bank's own business channels, which you can find by typing its website yourself, and not by sending a deposit to a caller. Repeated fingerprint requests for a stuck transaction should make you stop.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions

A caller says they are from Fino Payments Bank. Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact Fino Payments Bank through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.

Can Fino Payments Bank ask me to install an app on a call?

Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
