(Hong Kong, 13 September 2023) - Dah Sing Bank, Limited (the "Bank") has become aware today that fraudsters have created a third-party weblink to a fraudulent public utility website for utility bill payments, which in turn directs customers and/or members of the public to another fraudulent website designed to look like the Bank's digital banking login page for users to enter their login credentials and other sensitive information.

The Bank hereby confirms and advises that the third-party weblink and the fraudulent website have no connection with the Bank and its subsidiaries. The Bank's official website is at www.dahsing.com. Customers and members of the public should verify the URL of the website by looking for the secure padlock icon in the address bar before entering any login ID and password and/or personal/financial information.

• Do not click on unverified weblinks or websites;
• Do not disclose any login credentials and/or sensitive personal/financial information to suspicious websites; and
