Phishing • On line banking CAN be vulnerable to fraud; but E-banking can become less secure if users are careless, naive or computer illiterate. • This is called PHISHING, when someone is able to gain access to someone else’s on-line sensitive information and bank account, usually pretending to be a trustworthy organization (but also in other more subtle and hidden ways). • However, increasing studies are being carried out to avoid phishing.

  5. MicrocreditIt is a small loan (microloan) granted to unemployed people, usually poor entrepreneurs who want to set up a self-employment project but lack the money.Microcredit originated in developing countries, where people coudn’t meet any of the usual requirements a bank would normally ask for. • The Grameen Bank • In 1976, Muhammad Yunus, a US economist from Bangladesh founded the first bank to develop a system of credit for the poor, and invented microcredit. • The bank, set up in Bangladesh, would help million of borrowers (96% women) with tiny loans. • To ensure the repayment, the bank used a system of “solidarity groups” that met regularly with the bank representatives. • Now it offers housing loans as well as other bigger projects, and the usual banking services as savings. • In 2006, Mr Yunus and his bank were honoured the Nobel Peace Prize.
