It has a licence issued by the State. Most countries have strict laws against - and are very alert to - companies calling themselves 'banks' if they are not fully licensed and under control by the banking authorities. You mostly have to watch out if banks have established themselves in exotic locations; or if they present themselves as banks on the internet without telling you a proper visiting address that you can check, ore give you only a mobile phone number. Banks on Internet also should inform you where and how they are licensed. And generally, if they make offers that sound too good to be true, they usually are a scam.

If you are a beneficiary and someone from the bank contacted you how will you know that it's legitimate?

Go to the bank and see what the correspondence is all about. If they ask you for identification and hand you a check then you know it's legitimate. If someone is asking you for money that's a good sign it is a fraud. Do not send any money. You can add more details on the discussion page.
