Professor Wang Po-Chi, in an interview with TVBS News, warned: Be careful of your accounts being targeted! The Financial Supervisory Commission is strengthening its crackdown on fraud, naming “14 types of behavior” as suspicious accounts. | 10 Different Things 20260209
To prevent a surge in fraud cases, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has announced amendments to expand the scope of suspicious accounts, increasing the number of abnormal situations from six to fourteen. These include situations where the account holder is reported as a missing person, or frequent creation of pre-arranged accounts. The new regulations are expected to take effect as early as mid-April. Banks that identify significant or urgent anomalies can directly report them to the High Prosecutors Office, with violators facing fines of up to NT$50 million. Experts also remind the public to establish a real-time consumer complaint mechanism. Once an account is blocked, a dedicated unit should handle the situation and provide subsequent redress channels to protect the rights of the public.
