Financial Fraud is Costing South Africans Millions

South African users face an epidemic of sophisticated financial scams through WhatsApp, SMS, and online platforms, with many losing money to fraud due to lack of real-time detection, education, and secure transaction verification systems.

1

Undetected Scam Messages - Users receive convincing phishing messages, fake job offers, and government impersonation scams through WhatsApp/SMS without any warning system

2

Unsafe Payment Requests - No verification layer exists between receiving a payment request and losing money to fraudulent transfers

3

Language Barriers - Financial security tools only work in English, excluding millions of South Africans who speak isiZulu, isiXhosa, Afrikaans, Sesotho, or Setswana

4

Dangerous ATM Locations - Users withdraw cash at unsafe locations without knowing which ATMs/banks have security features like CCTV, 24/7 security, or proper lighting
