OREANDA-NEWS. HDFC Bank Ltd today launched its Secure Banking programme at Indore in Madhya Pradesh. The initiative is part of HDFC Bank's ongoing endeavor to create customer awareness about safe banking practices.

The programme will be rolled out across all 92 branches in Madhya Pradesh to educate customers and create awareness. The initiative was launched by guest of honour, Mr Chetan Naik, Director, CDN Solution.

The 'Secure Banking' initiative comprises a series of workshops, which educate customers through presentations, on matters they need to be careful about, while conducting banking transactions. This includes using a cheque, transacting at ATMs, using debit or credit cards at POS terminals, merchant outlets and online banking.

These workshops are open to the public. Both customers and non-customers are welcome to attend the series of workshops, which will be conducted at various branches across India on a regular basis. In addition to branches, the workshops will also be held at corporate offices, schools and residential complexes.

Apart from the workshops at branches, various other channels like ATM screens, mobile banking, and the HDFC Bank website will be used to spread the message of Secure Banking to customers.

Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Sudesh Jaisinghani, Zonal Head, HDFC Bank, said, “Banking in India has made tremendous progress in the last two decades. From early days when visiting the branch was a necessity, customers today have access to multiple platforms to conduct banking transactions. The Secure Banking programme educates customers about the do's and don'ts they must follow while using these platforms. The simple measures illustrated during the workshop will help customers minimise any risk of compromise of their personal data."
