In the wake of a rising number of bank frauds, Bank of Baroda (Bank), one of India’s leading public sector banks, is observing the Cyber Jagrookta Diwas to educate the public to stay aware and stay cyber safe.
The Bank has initiated a digital and social media customer awareness and education campaign that underlines how people can combat banking frauds and protect their hard-earned money.
