Applying for cards in crowded places through strangers outside of bank offices is associated with certain risks.
This was reported by Alla Khrapunova, an expert in the direction "People's Front. Analytics".
Today, it is indeed possible to obtain a bank card through a bank representative outside the office, RIA Novosti writes.
To do this, you need to leave an application on the credit institution’s website.
Afterwards, a bank representative will come to the location you specified and will be able to check your data through the bank’s system.
Khrapunova emphasized that applying for bank cards outside of bank offices is unsafe.
It is important to make sure that the representative actually works for the bank.
Bank representatives may indeed be working at airports, shopping malls and train stations.
In such places there will be a stand with bank logos, documentation and a contract on company letterhead.
Khrapunova advises checking whether the point of sale really belongs to the bank.
To do this, you can call the bank's hotline.
