During this Scams Awareness Week, we’re sharing our top tips to combat scams. Following on from Safeguarding older and vulnerable individuals from scams today we bring you the next tip in our series.
Tip 2: Protect your data like you protect your wallet!
Financial institutions spare no effort in combating fraud and protecting their customers from scammers, and there are thousands of people working around the clock to protect you and your money.
However, in recent years scammers have realised they are competing with advanced multimillion-dollar fraud detection controls and systems, and therefore the path of least resistance is to trick customers into helping them bypass the fraud controls that are put in place for customer protection.
The truths we must acknowledge:
There’s an alarming amount of compromised data out there, and scammers are becoming increasingly skilled at exploiting it. The numerous Australian data breaches publicised widely are just the tip of the iceberg.
You can check how many data breaches have involved your details at this website: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
Scammers, armed with your stolen data, can piece together a comprehensive profile of their targets. That seemingly innocent chat on WhatsApp or a transaction on Facebook Marketplace can be a data-mining expedition. This, in turn, can be exploited to build trust and manipulate people into compliance.
The following are some steps you can take to shield yourself from scams:
Your data is your digital identity, and safeguarding it is vital. Scammers can use your data to gain trust, manipulate, and exploit vulnerabilities.
By taking steps to protect your data and sharing this knowledge with others, we can collectively defend against data-driven scams and build a safer digital world.
Australians have lost $430 million to scams already in 2023, and as Christmas approaches, we can expect another spike in scam activities.
Here’s our top tips to combat scams.
Equipping ourselves and our loved ones with the knowledge needed to fend off scams is crucial.
In this digital age, scams can affect anyone, regardless of age or technological know-how. However, older, and more vulnerable individuals tend to fall prey to scams more often.
In 2023, Australians over 65 have lost more than $108 million to scams and represented one in four of all scam reports.
To combat scams effectively, it’s important to educate those at higher risk of becoming a victim. Sharing our knowledge, experiences, and staying vigilant empowers them to recognise and respond to potential threats.
Here are a few suggestions on how we can play a vital role in protecting our loved ones:
Be a trusted, non-judgmental resource available at any hour of the day. Engage in open discussions with older family members, friends, and acquaintances about the potential dangers lurking online. Encourage them to ask questions and share their concerns.
Educate older individuals about common scam warning signs such as unsolicited calls, suspicious emails, requests for personal information, or high-pressure sales tactics. Equipping them with this knowledge improves their confidence in navigating scam scenarios.
Encourage healthy scepticism and a “trust but verify” approach when encountering unknown or unfamiliar entities. Remind them to independently verify the legitimacy of offers, requests, or investments before committing to any action.
Phone scams result in more monetary loss than any other method. If someone on the phone is making them uncomfortable or is moving too fast, they can always hang up! Scammers feed on people’s politeness. It’s better to risk offending someone than to risk a scammer taking all of your hard-earned money.
We encourage you to share with your vulnerable loved ones so that we can all be protected.
Let’s work together to ensure we’re all protected from the harms of scams. By extending our helping hands, we can make a significant impact in their lives and collectively build a stronger and safer community.

Indue client Southern Cross Credit Union (SCCU) are leading the way in adopting sustainable business practices to reduce their carbon footprint, with the upcoming release of a new card made from recycled materials.
The recycled PVC card product is made from waste derived from PVC Toys, Medical and electric plastic, and contribute to around 65% reduction in the SCCU’s card production carbon footprint, will be in the hands of their customers soon.
SCCU CEO Stuart Edwards said the key driver for adopting the use of recycled cards was feedback from customers.
“We listen to our customers, and we are going ahead with recycled cards based on customer feedback that they support SCCU’s commitment to making a positive impact for a more sustainable future,” Mr Edwards said.
“This change will see over 132kgs of plastic waste recycled into our bank cards over the next 4 years.
“At SCCU we are constantly implementing initiatives to reduce our footprint, and offering cards made from recycled materials, that can also be recycled, is another step in the right direction for SCCU as it will significantly reduce the waste and carbon emissions of our current plastic cards.
“This is another way we are adapting our operations to reduce carbon emissions and to ensure we are acting responsibly and playing our part to manage our impact on the environment.”
Indue CEO Derek Weatherley said Indue is pleased to partner with SCCU on its implementation of the recycled PVC card.
“Plastic waste is one of a myriad of sustainability challenges faced by the planet, and so it’s pleasing to see mutual banks adopting more sustainable solutions,” Mr Weatherley said.
“A range of sustainable plastic card solutions are available in the market and Indue has worked in partnership with our clients and our manufacturing partners to make these options easily adoptable by our clients and I believe we will see our clients quickly moving to these solutions as part of their sustainability programs.
“One of the elements of Indue’s community program lllumin8, is to focus on working with our partners to implement initiatives that address environmental issues to protect our planet.”

Two decades ago, a journey began that would change the landscape of financial security. Today, we are celebrating 20 Stellar Years of Orion Financial Crimes—a journey marked by relentless dedication, innovation, and unwavering commitment.
The Origin: A Small Beginning with a Vision
Our story starts with ‘Credit Link,’ a small organisation consisting of just 30 staff members. Within its portfolio were 12 Visa Debit Card clients. However, a significant challenge arose when Visa decided to decommission its daily report of unusual transactions—an essential tool for fraud detection. This left a void that needed to be filled, and Credit Link was ready to step up to the challenge. Credit Link, now proudly known as Indue, embarked on a transformative journey by opting into First Data’s hosted PRM offering. This move was revolutionary in the world of fraud software, marking the beginning of a new era in financial security.
A Critical Decision: Developing a Service Offering
To meet the evolving needs of our clients and enhance their financial security, Indue made a critical decision. We decided to develop a service offering that would not only address the existing challenges but also set new standards in the industry.
Within the first year, our team expanded from 1 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) to 3 FTE, allowing us to extend our service hours significantly. We went from operating on weekdays from 8 am to 4 pm to a more expansive schedule, covering hours from 7 am to 6 pm, including Saturday mornings.
The Financial Landscape: Then and Now
Looking back, it’s astonishing to see how the financial landscape has evolved over the past two decades. When we began, there were no overnight services, no real-time decline mechanisms, and no investigation case management tools. Transactions were predominantly conducted using magnetic stripe cards with signatures, and concepts like ‘chip and pin’ and ‘Visa Secure’ were yet to emerge. The primary focus of fraud prevention was on card-present scenarios, primarily
countering counterfeit activities. Today, e-commerce fraud, which now dominates the fraud landscape, was not even officially categorised.
Our Unchanging Purpose: Effective Mitigation and Exceptional Service
Throughout the challenges and transformations, our purpose remained constant—to achieve effective and efficient fraud mitigation while delivering exceptional customer service. We navigated uncharted waters, developing processes, procedures, reports, and client engagement strategies on the fly. All of these were driven by our sole aim: to enhance financial security while ensuring our clients’ competitiveness.
A Journey of Transformation and Innovation
As we celebrate 20 stellar years, we take pride in our journey of transformation, innovation, and unwavering commitment to financial security. From a small team managing a handful of clients to becoming a leading force in fraud detection and prevention, our story is one of dedication and excellence. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated team, both long-serving members and newcomers, for their continuous efforts in driving positive change. To our clients, who have placed their trust in us for two decades, we say thank you.
Your support has been instrumental in our journey.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to advancing financial security, embracing emerging technologies, and strengthening our partnerships. Orion Financial Crimes, powered by Indue, stands as your reliable financial guardian, safeguarding your assets from harm.
Here’s to celebrating 20 Stellar Years of excellence, and to many more years of securing your financial transactions. Thank you for being part of our remarkable journey.

As part of Indue’s Leadership Series: Cultiv8, we were pleased to host a webinar exclusively for Indue customers to present key findings from KPMG’s 2024 Mutuals Industry Review.
KPMG’s 2024 report provides commentary and insight on the mutual banking industry, based on an analysis of the financial results and key responses to our qualitative survey of Australian building societies, mutual banks and credit unions authorised by APRA (together, the Mutual sector).
In 2024, Australian Mutuals experienced continued growth in net assets and operating profits, improving their financial health. Higher net interest margins and consistent loan growth played an important role in this success, despite a deterioration in the cost-to-income ratio for the sector.
Despite the successes, customer-owned banks need to find a way to balance their support for communities during the current cost-of-living crisis with cost reduction, service expansion, process uplift and threat protection. But, the era of AI and advanced technology is here, and can help transform strategy and operations. Dive into our report for more insights, with special focus on digital transformation, AI, cyber security, ESG and trust and regulation.
As part of the Indue Leadership series – Cultiv8, we’re proud to invite you to this exclusive customer event in partnership with RFI Global.
The Youth Banking Study promises to deliver unique insights on topics related to youth banking, finances and payments, including (but not limited to) financial literacy, banking relationships, payments, the role of parents and other influences and attitudes towards new technologies and providers.

Operating within the payments industry comes with an obligation to minimise the opportunity for payment systems to be misused. This is driven by regulatory compliance, a desire to minimise losses for our clients and our own corporate values around social responsibility.
All the while, others will continue to find new ways to exploit payments products and services.

The Indue team was excited to sponsor and attend last week’s AusPayNet Summit, an annual end-of-year highlight for the payments sector, bringing together industry experts, decision-makers, innovators, and regulators for stimulating discussions on the future of payments in Australia.
The theme of this year’s AusPayNet Summit 2023 ‘A Turning Point’ – focused on how the industry can take advantage of current opportunities to deliver secure and customer-focused payments systems, within a sector focused on encouraging innovation and fostering collaboration.
As leaders in payment services, the Indue team valued the opportunity to connect with others in the industry, explore emerging trends, share valuable insights and collaborate on solutions for challenges facing our industry.
Our key takeaways included:
RBA Governor insights on payments modernisation
The Summit included a fascinating address by the newly appointed Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, Michele Bullock, who spoke about how the Government’s reforms to modernise the payments system will enhance safety, efficiency and competitiveness across the payments ecosystem.
The key takeout from the Governor’s address was that industry, government and the RBA will need to work together on navigating the broad range of key challenges in the rapidly evolving payment services sector.
The three key issues that will be particularly strategically important to the RBA in 2024 include: 1) the next review of retail payments regulation (which will include a focus on Least-cost routing (LCR), Mobile wallets, and Buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services); 2) maintaining access to cash; and 3) supporting the transition from BECS to modern payment systems.
Governor Bullock noted some significant challenges will need to be overcome for the industry to successfully transition all BECS payments to more modern payment systems, including financial institutions needing to uplift their processing capacity, and enabling NPP services that can reliably handle the full range of payments that are currently processed by BECS.
A balanced approach to crucial reforms
With Australia’s payment landscape evolving at such a rapid pace, Summit discussions shed light on the crucial reforms aimed at reshaping the sector’s regulatory architecture.
Discussions about the licensing of payment providers revolved around finding a balance between safeguarding against potential risks and ensuring seamless access for users, which is pivotal for the sustained growth of the payment services sector.
As this year’s AusPayNet Summit reinforced, collaboration among industry leaders, regulators, and all stakeholders will be critical in developing a regulatory landscape that caters to the ever-evolving needs of the payment ecosystem.
Regulating new ways to pay
The shift from traditional cheque-based transactions towards digital methods has been led by customers and while the system is ready for change, a full transition and phase-out of cheques will require significant time, and substantial efforts in revamping systems and processes. It will also require overcoming barriers such as a lack of digital capabilities or distrust of digital solutions among consumers.
The regulation of open wallets is also increasingly necessary given the substantial role they play in the payment’s ecosystem. There is a need for appropriate regulation that aligns with the evolving nature of wallet providers.
Threats and opportunities of AI
Generative AI does provide a revolutionary new tool with the potential to fundamentally change the way things are done, with opportunities to significantly improve decision making, personalisation and the efficiencies of payments technology.
However, when considering security in payments, AI isn’t always the best solution. There is a need to consider how the use of AI impacts the threat landscape, as well as questions around ethics, equity and responsibility of data.
Our dedication to nurturing our team’s growth is more than a commitment – it’s part of our DNA.
Last week, a delegation of Indue leaders engaged in vibrant conversations at the Women In Payments Australia Symposium, an event that aligns with the Indue ethos of fostering continuous learning and empowerment within our team.
This year’s Symposium was an exploration of ‘Connect, Create, and Be Curious’, featuring top female leaders in payments and fintech. Discussions spanned payment challenges, industry initiatives, cutting-edge fintech solutions, careers, and leadership.
Here’s a snapshot of our key takeaways:
Industry-wide collaboration to protect customers
While users want greater speed, agility and security, scammers are getting more sophisticated. The symposium emphasised the critical need for industries to collaborate to strengthen security measures and respond swiftly to breaches.
As the government introduces tough new rules for banks, telcos and social media platforms to protect their users, the payments sector needs to engage at the policy level and collaborate across other financial services industries to develop industry standards and initiatives.
Innovating loyalty programs for changing financial behaviours
Financial priorities are shifting toward saving rather than indulgence. Customers, in particular Gen Z, are also increasingly looking for loyalty programs that contribute to social causes – highlighting the need for novel program structures that encompass a broader societal impact.
Digital technologies are improving the accessibility and usage of loyalty programs and AI advancements are offering exciting new ways to personalise experiences.
With a payment point for every loyalty program, such as purchases for awards and discounts, we need to find new ways to surprise and delight users to avoid loyalty program fatigue.
Advancements in global payments and cross-border transactions
The G20 and other international bodies have been working to enhance cross-border payments, addressing issues like cost, speed, access, and transparency. Currently, Australia receives 50% of international payment funds in one hour. The goal is to reach 75%.
And as the digital wallet accelerates and cash decline continues, we heard some interesting facts about cash circulation. While Australia is a low cash usage country at a global level, we have more than $2 billion of cash still in circulation.
Elevating leadership through Emotional Intelligence
The symposium recognised the escalating importance of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in leadership roles. Discussions centred around the integral role EQ plays in leadership effectiveness – emphasising traits like empathy, self-awareness, and a positive outlook.
Maintaining good relationships, adapting your communication style, engaging in active listening, keeping a critical-thinking mindset, and being solutions focused are key to a high EQ.
Be aware of the value you bring to your organisation and to yourself. Do the work on areas that need development but don’t dwell on negatives. Be kind to yourself and lean into your strengths.
Embracing critical leadership lessons
Leadership means being highly visible, so even a small misstep can make us vulnerable. We learned about embracing the critical lessons you can learn from less than favourable moments.
Discussions emphasised the pivotal role of robust support systems, both professionally and personally, in nurturing resilient leadership.
As part of Indue’s Leadership Series: Cultiv8, we were pleased to host a webinar exclusively for Indue customers to present key findings from KPMG’s 2023 Mutuals Industry Review.
KPMG’s 2023 report provides commentary and insight on the mutual banking industry, based on an analysis of the financial results and key responses to our qualitative survey of Australian building societies, mutual banks and credit unions authorised by APRA (together, the Mutual sector).
The last 3 years have seen unprecedented disruption for the mutual banking industry in Australia to navigate, from the impacts of Covid in 2020 and 2021 to climate-weather events in 2022. Challenges for customer-owned banking institutions continued into 2023 with softening economic conditions, high inflation levels contributing to further interest rate increases and the cost-of-living pressure continuing to have an impact on their customers.
Economic uncertainty both globally and nationally continues to put financial pressure on local communities. Supporting these communities is a core purpose for the mutual banking sector as unlike investor-owned banks, the profit of customer-owned banks are not paid to shareholders but reinvested to meet their customers’ banking needs.
Notwithstanding this, the mutual banking sector operates within the broader banking ecosystem which provides multiple challenges for a purposeful future.

This was a special week for the Indue Team as we welcomed our long term partners, Dnister to our offices. The partnership we have with Dnister is 32 years young and has been particularly special in recent years due to us working closely together to assist people who have been displaced as a result of regional conflict and found themselves in Australia with nothing but the clothes on their back.
Our staff were honoured to hear directly the powerful story of Solomiia, a refugee who connected with Dnister upon arrival in Australia. After initially being supported by Dnister, Solomiia went on to be employed by Dnister and worked tirelessly to support many other refugees through a range of support programs. These included the basic necessities of life, through to support groups, all the way through to assistance with financing new businesses to establish livelihoods in Australia. Indue was pleased to partner with Dnister on one of these programs, through our own community support program, Illumin8.
Indue was honoured to receive a Motanka doll as a token of thanks. The Motanka doll is of particular cultural significance in the Ukraine and represents courage, bravery and friendship. The doll holds a small piece of amber in its hands to remind us to always hold on to the sunshine through the difficult journeys in life.
The story was a bright illustration of the difference between a community bank and a commercial bank and the impact that mutuals can have on making a better society.
Thank you to Dnister for your partnership and for your outstanding work in bettering our society.
Take the time to have a listen to the Dnister story and presentation shown at the 2023 COBA conference. Solomiia Vozniak spoke to Key Leaders of the finance industry in Australia about her journey as a displaced person and the role Dnister and the community plays in support of those who recently arrived.
Real Heart. Real Action. This year our CEO, Derek Weatherley spent the night in the Hunter region to support the excellent work of Vinnies and the Vinnies CEO Sleepout . Derek has been participating in this initiative for 8 years and said “I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to spend some time in the Hunter this year hearing about the extent of the local homelessness issues in that region and the wide range of programs that Vinnies undertake to support people into secure and sustained housing arrangements. I also had the opportunity to spend some time with Mark Williams the CEO at The Mutual Bank who are always looking at ways to support the greater Hunter community.” hashtag
Thank you to the many of you associated with Indue that have regularly supported Vinnies through our support for the Sleepout since 2017. Vinnies do an outstanding job and your support does make a difference to the lives of those affected by homelessness

Well done to the 6 Sydney and 4 Brisbane team members who hit the Salvos Warehouse at their Tempe and Red Hill locations to volunteer their time to give back to this great organisation. From price tagging books and clothing items, to the big job of Alphabetising the large selection of novels, the team were busy in the warehouse and on the floor – one was so comfortable in his volunteer role that he was mistaken for Staff and asked about the furniture for sale.
The Salvos’ Floor Manager was most impressed with the work the team did in organising the bookshelves – the team compared their respective step count at the end and it was very impressive as they raced from A through Z of what would have been over 10 000 books.
We are proud to celebrate our Head of Architecture, Keith Bromwich, for successfully completing the challenging 6-day Jatbula Trail in Northern Territory! What’s even more amazing is that Keith undertook this incredible journey in support of Careflight, an incredible non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives with their critical care aeromedical services all over Australia.
