Security and Fraud

A Monte Paschi Banque employee will never ask you, whatever the reason and the degree of urgency  :

• your password identifiers, SMS code received or card number,
• to register an IBAN for whatever reason,
• to validate an operation, a cancellation or a beneficiary on MontepaschiPass,
• transfer your money to another account to “thwart a scam”, “secure your money” or other reason.

Never validate a transaction or a beneficiary if you are not at the origin.

Whatever the reason given, hang up, cancel the transaction then contact your Monte Paschi Banque branch.
