Indue launches ScamHub helping educate everyday Australians on threat of scams
With more than $2.74 billion lost by Australians to scams this year, market-leading payment solutions provider, Indue, has launched ScamHub — a complimentary customer website portal providing educational resources for their clients to help educate their employee and customers on scams.
The initiative was made possible through Indue’s Illumin8 Social Impact program, a program dedicated to fostering positive social impact by actively supporting social causes close to the hearts of their clients and the work they do in their communities.
Indue Chief Executive Officer, Derek Weatherley, recognised ScamHub as an important resource for connecting clients with education and information regarding scams they can share with their staff and customers, giving Australians the confidence to pay every day.
“Scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated and innovative with new scam vectors constantly entering the market,” Mr Weatherley said.
“We see it as our role and responsibility to help protect our clients and their customers — everyday Australians — from scams, tackling the issue from as many angles as possible. Providing education and resources through ScamHub is one important way we can do this.
“By providing access to the latest tools and information on a user-friendly platform, we’re strengthening the collective effort to protect Australians from financial crime,” he said.
A range of resources and materials are available exclusively to Indue clients via ScamHub including posters, social media assets and educational videos on the latest scams.
Indue clients can download resources from ScamHub free of charge, for sharing internally with staff, as well as with their customers via their own channels.
“It was important to us that we provide ScamHub to our clients as a complimentary service — we see it as an extension of what we stand for as an organisation that operates in the payment solutions space,” Mr Weatherley said.
“We know scams and financial crime are big issues for all Australians, which is why we chose to actively invest in furthering financial education, working closely with our clients in doing so.
“We are committed to seeing as many of our clients as possible making use of these resources. We will continue our collaboration with them to ensure we are delivery what they and their team need to meet the market needs.”
ScamHub will be regularly updated with new materials and resources to stay ahead of emerging scams.
ScamHub is a password protected website, available free to all Indue clients and provides easy-to-use resources that can be shared internally or externally to help prevent scams.
