In recent years, Hong Kong has experienced a surge in online scams, with a remarkable uptick in the number of reported cases. Zero Finance Hong Kong Limited (“Zero Finance”) is dedicated to safeguarding customers’ online security. Recently, it provided investigative assistance to the “SMASHSCAM” anti-fraud operation launched by the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau in June 2023, making a significant contribution to the operation’s success.

 

Zero Finance collaborates with the Hong Kong police to combat crimes and assist in the investigation of technology-related offenses. During the period from September 2022 to July 2023, one fraudulent group submitted 90 loans and 54 bank account opening applications using artificial intelligence, ultimately approving loans of HK$200,000. Zero Finance provided crucial intelligence regarding suspicious loan applications from this group, enabling the Hong Kong police to swiftly identify core members and successfully crack the case.

 

On November 24, 2023, the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force engaged in in-depth discussions with Zero Finance’s risk control team regarding the fraud case. Zero Finance received commendations for its proprietary risk management system, which effectively safeguards customer online security. In recognition of the valuable contribution, Zero Finance was awarded certificates of appreciation.

 

Zero Finance places a high priority on customer privacy and online security. In addition to enhancing platform security, it distributes SMS alerts to customers to raise awareness and vigilance against online fraud, urging customers to remain vigilant and prevent crime, thus safeguarding them from unnecessary losses.
