Barclays Bank introduces fraud campaign

Chief risk officer, Jeffrey Davis said: “As Barclays Bank of Botswana, we remain committed to providing excellent and secure services, while also sensitising our customers on suspicious behaviour and bogus devices used at public service stations and in communal areas.
