Sberbank has launched the new service "Trusted Contact" as part of its online banking service "SberBank Online." This allows close relatives to be involved in monitoring bank transactions to better identify suspicious activity.

If the bank's anti-fraud systems detect a high risk of fraud, the questionable transaction is temporarily halted. This measure aims to protect customers from fraud and strengthen trust in banking services.
