Physical distancing
Keeping a safe physical distance of at least 2 meters is essential to protecting yourself and others from the spread of COVID-19.
So, that means:
🚶♀️ If you are walking past others, keep at least 2m away from them.
🏃♀️If you’re running past others, keep at least 2m away from them.
🛹Skateboarding past others, keep at least 2m away from them.
🐩Walking your dog past others, keep at least 2m away from them.
🚴♂️Cycling past others, whether they’re pedestrians or cyclists, yep, 2 meters away from them.
And if you come to a narrow walkway, beach access point, alley way or bridge where you can't keep 2 meters away from them, give way and go one at a time.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
