A new era in banking transactions

Within the scope of the New Judicial Reform Strategy, “strict control” is coming to banking transactions and telephone subscriptions. Individuals whose facial images cannot be detected by the ATM security camera will not be able to make transactions from ATM devices. According to the statement made by the Ministry of Justice, the 4th Judicial Reform Strategy Document, which was announced on January 22 and consists of 5 purposes, 45 goals and 264 activities, brings strict control to banking transactions and telephone subscriptions.

Within the scope of the third objective of the Judicial Reform Strategy Document, "Increasing the Efficiency of the Criminal Justice System", necessary regulations will be made on telephone subscriptions with banks and financial institutions.

Regulations will be put into effect to resolve problems arising from seizure and confiscation in criminal proceedings, particularly fraud and theft crimes committed using banking and information systems.

According to the Ministry's statement, if the information or document requested by the public prosecutor, judge or court is not sent within 10 days within the scope of an investigation or prosecution carried out in judicial processes, it will be possible to impose administrative fines on banks and financial institutions related to the judicial process.

In crimes committed by using information systems, the relevant account will be suspended for a certain period of time. The interest in question in the suspended account may be seized without the requirement to obtain a report as specified in Article 128 of the CMK. If it is understood that the interest in question belongs to the victim who was harmed by the crime, it will be returned to its owner.

Within the scope of the regulations to be made, accounts will not be opened in banks and electronic payment institutions without verification of the chip ID document. Individuals whose detectable facial image cannot be detected by the ATM security camera will not be able to make transactions from ATM devices. Within the scope of the change, ATM security camera records will be stored for at least two years.

PHONE SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE BEING UPDATED

According to the statement, with the new regulations to be made with the Judicial Reform Strategy Document, the establishment of a telephone subscription will be subject to strict rules by applying certain identity verification methods in order to prevent crimes.

All telephone subscription records will be updated, and lines whose subscription records are not updated within a specified period will be closed to communication.

Citizens will be able to have a maximum of three mobile communication lines, and foreigners will be able to have a maximum of one. Telephone lines found to be used in fraudulent crimes may be disconnected. If the information or document requested by the public prosecutor, judge or court within the scope of an ongoing investigation or prosecution is not sent within 10 days, the public prosecutor will be able to impose administrative fines on operator companies.
