MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (MFA) HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED FOR INTERNET BANKING

TransBank has implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for its internet banking service.

This authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to complete an additional verification step when logging in, rather than relying solely on a password.

Why is MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) important?

  1. It helps protect customers’ personal information even if passwords are compromised;
  2. It prevents cyber fraud and various types of SMiShing attacks;
  3. It ensures a high level of security for both individual and organizational data.

Additionally, for transactions exceeding MNT 5 million for individuals and MNT 20 million for organizations, the OTP verification step can be replaced with MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication).

We provide our customers with instructions on how to perform multi-factor authentication on TransBank’s Internet Banking platform.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO PREVENT SMISHING (SMS PHISHING) ATTACKS

SMiShing (SMS Text Phishing) is a type of fraud that has become widespread internationally. Taking advantage of the widespread use of mobile phones for sending and receiving messages, there has been an increasing trend of deception, cyber fraud, and attacks on personal information. In response, we provide the following warnings and recommendations.

  1. Be cautious with messages received via phone – Carefully verify links and messages from unknown numbers before opening or responding. Only engage if you are confident about the sender.
  2. Do not click on suspicious links – Avoid opening links from unknown or doubtful sources as this is an important step to protect your information.
  3. Be careful when scanning QR codes – Even if the source seems trustworthy, always verify and confirm the destination address before proceeding.
  4. Keep your device and applications updated regularly – Updates improve security and help prevent attacks.

The bank will never request you to provide confidential information such as your internet banking username or password. If you receive such a request, it is crucial to verify the authenticity of the sender’s official email address and phone number to protect yourself from potential risks.

Cybersecurity starts with your responsibility.

MORTGAGE LOAN INSURANCE REGULATIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED

According to Resolution No. 66 of 2025 by the Financial Regulatory Commission, starting from August 1, 2025, a new regulation has come into effect requiring mortgage loan borrowers to obtain life insurance exclusively through long-term insurance companies.

Under this new regulation, individuals who are taking out a mortgage loan for the first time, as well as those whose current insurance contracts have expired and need to be renewed, will be required to enroll in long-term life insurance products.

Currently, borrowers typically choose standard insurance services, which only provide coverage for accidental death. However, the main causes of death among people are illness-related, and common conditions such as stroke and cancer are not covered by the insurance.

The financial risk for mortgage borrowers is directly linked not only to stable income but also to health. If a borrower dies due to illness and is unable to receive compensation, the remaining loan balance must be paid by the co-borrower. Furthermore, if repayment is not possible, the property may be repossessed, placing the borrower’s family under financial strain and risking homelessness.

In contrast, long-term life insurance is a life insurance product that provides compensation equal to the outstanding loan balance if the borrower faces a risk during the validity period of the insurance contract. Specifically, according to the contract, if the borrower dies or suffers a permanent disability of 70% or more due to any illness – including chronic diseases, cancer, or sudden accidents – the insurance company will fully cover the remaining loan balance, protecting you from potential financial risks.

This insurance is reinsured by a foreign company, which ensures reliable claim payments. In addition, it provides 24/7 worldwide protection without any time or geographical restrictions. Furthermore, you have the option to pay the insurance premium either as a one-time payment or annually, according to the terms that suit you best. The premium is uniquely calculated based on your age, gender, loan term, and other factors, making it personalized just for you.

The “Top 100” enterprises are ranked and honored based on official statistics provided by relevant ministries and government agencies. The evaluation emphasizes five key indicators: annual revenue, taxes paid to the state budget, number of employees covered by social insurance, net profit, and total assets. These 100 enterprises, which contribute the largest share to the country’s tax revenue, are rightfully recognized as the main driving force of Mongolia’s economy.

Since its establishment, TransBank has continuously contributed to the development of Mongolia’s banking and financial sector for 28 years by providing comprehensive financial services tailored to customer needs through modern advanced technologies.

AMENDMENTS WILL BE INTRODUCED TO THE REGULATION GOVERNING MORTGAGE LOAN INSURANCE

According to Resolution No. 66 of the Financial Regulatory Commission (FRC) of Mongolia, starting August 1, 2025, a new regulation will require all mortgage loan borrowers to obtain life insurance exclusively through long-term life insurance providers.

Under this new regulation, individuals applying for a new mortgage loan, as well as those whose current insurance contracts are expiring and need to be renewed, must now enroll in a long-term life insurance policy.

At present, most borrowers are covered under general insurance, which typically provides protection only in the event of accidental death. However, the leading causes of death in Mongolia are illness-related, meaning general insurance policies do not cover deaths caused by common conditions such as stroke or cancer.

Mortgage-related financial risks are not only tied to income stability, but also closely connected to a borrower’s health condition. If a borrower were to pass away due to illness and no compensation is paid out, the responsibility for the outstanding loan falls on the co-borrower. In cases where the co-borrower is unable to repay the loan, the property may be repossessed, placing the family under severe financial pressure and at risk of losing their home.

Long-term life insurance is a life insurance product that provides compensation equivalent to the outstanding loan amount in the event the borrower faces a risk during the term of the insurance contract. Specifically, in cases where the borrower passes away due to illness (including chronic diseases and cancer) or an accident, or suffers a permanent disability of 70% or more, the insurance company will fully repay the remaining loan balance, thereby protecting the borrower and their family from potential financial risk.

This type of insurance is reinsured by an international reinsurer, which ensures the reliability of the compensation and offers 24/7 global protection, regardless of time or geographic location. Additionally, the insurance premium can be paid either as a lump sum or annually, depending on the borrower’s preference. Premiums are calculated individually based on factors such as age, gender, and loan term, making the insurance tailored specifically to each borrower.
