Kaspersky Lab for mobile banking
The research from Kaspersky Lab and
B2B International shows that two-
thirds of Internet users worldwide
(65%) are worried about online
financial fraud, yet 11% of consumers
use no security solution at all to protect
themselves. The bank is committed
to protecting its customers from
online security threats and increasing
cyber security awareness throughout
the region. Banque Saudi Fransi and
Kaspersky Lab aim to lower the levels
of financial cyber crime by informing
users about the current and emerging
threats and to give advice on how to
avoid financial cyber security risks.
Banque Saudi Fransi, a provider of
commercial banking and wealth
management services in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, has agreed a partnership
with global cyber security company
Kaspersky Lab, to provide better
protection to their online and mobile
banking users and to raise the level of
security awareness among its clients.
In line with its ‘Banque of Excellence’
strategy, Banque Saudi Fransi is offering
the Kaspersky Total Security multi-
device product to its online banking
customers free of charge, as a proactive
measure for protecting their personal
devices from viruses and other malware
infections. Customers can log in to
their online banking account through
FransiPlus, BSF online banking services,
to get the product activation code which
can be used to activate Kaspersky Total
Security in three devices and is valid for
two years.
“In line with the bank’s strategy, we
are keen to deliver our customers
and staff with a secure, safe and
easy to use online experience. It will
also benefit us by securing our online

to the forefront of technological
advancements in cyber security. We
