In the wake of a rise in e-wallet scams, First National Bank (FNB) Namibia says a lack of understanding of the role of the one-time pin (OTP) is the leading cause of clients falling victim to conmen.

During a media engagement with FNB, the bank revealed that 788 fraudulent e-wallet transactions were recorded between August 2022 and August 2023.

That equates to about N$600,000 stolen from would-be e-wallet recipients.

The head of transaction and digital banking, Yeoman Hamilton, explained that this is an elaborate scam that happens over time.
