In a related effort, the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has directed the NBTC to review approximately 80 million mobile phone numbers linked to over 113 million mobile banking accounts to ensure SIM card ownership matches the account holders. This verification process is scheduled to be completed by the end of September.
Additionally, the NBTC has taken action to secure telecommunications operations in five border provinces by addressing 465 unauthorized cell signal boosters, of which 179 have already been destroyed.
