Martin Lewis’ MoneySavingExpert (MSE) is reminding customers of 27 major banking brands of a secure hotline number they can call if they need to verify they are dealing with their bank safely. In recent guidance, MSE directs people to use the official 3‑digit number associated with these brands, presented as a way to confirm they have avoided becoming victims of scams or fraud. The reminders specifically include customers of Lloyds, Nationwide and NatWest, alongside other participating banks. The message emphasizes that the number is intended to provide a safe route to check communications and account-related concerns, rather than relying on links, texts or contact details provided by unknown parties. While the outlets differ slightly in wording, both reports describe the same core advice: MSE encourages relevant customers to use the secure hotline linked to their bank brand for reassurance and verification. The guidance is framed as a practical safety step for people who may be worried they have been contacted fraudulently.
