No more unknown numbers from banks: what will change for Ulyanovsk residents

Residents of the Ulyanovsk region will find it easier to distinguish calls from real bank employees. The largest Russian banks and telecom operators of the Big Four have agreed to mark incoming calls.

As reported in the Ministry of information of Russia, the relevant agreements have already been concluded. In the near future, calls from these credit institutions will be marked.

When incoming call on the smartphone screen will display the name of the bank. This will allow subscribers before the conversation to understand which organization is contacting them.

It is expected that the innovation will reduce the risk of telephone fraud, including common schemes, when attackers pose as employees of banks and convince citizens to transfer money to “safe” accounts.

Since September 2025, Russia has a requirement for mandatory labeling of calls from organizations and individual entrepreneurs.

At the same time, Ulyanovsk residents should not lose their vigilance even if there is a marking. Under no circumstances can not inform the interlocutors codes from SMS, passwords and confidential banking data.
