In 2022 the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau received more that 8,000 reports of romance scams. However, experts suspect the real figure is far higher, as many victims don't report the incidents, often due to shame. Which is why we are working hard to prevent scams, particularly for those groups who are must vulnerable to fraud... https://lnkd.in/egGyZNS4 #romancescams #financialinclusion #safespendingforall

Today, Sibstar is launching it's Safe Spending For All campaign. As so many of you know my mum had dementia, and she really struggled with her everyday spending. Despite trying to help her in so many ways Mum was constantly at risk of being taken advantage of. That’s why this campaign means so much to me. We’ve teamed up with the incredible Vicky McClure, and Sara Davies MBE whose families have also been affected by dementia. Together, we’re working hard to protect those who are most vulnerable. With amazing support from the UK police force, Nationwide, Alzheimer's Society, Innovate Finance, and advocates like Deborah Meaden, we’re raising awareness for how vulnerable people are more at risk than anyone else. That’s why it's time to act. So, join us, and let’s work together for Safe Spending For All. Drop a comment below to show your support. #safespendingforall #financialinclusion #collaboration #fraudprevention

Vicky Mcclure and Sara Davies MBE families have been personally impacted by dementia, giving them a unique understanding of the challenges faced by both individuals and their loved ones. Through her work with Our Dementia Choir, Vicky is helping to raise awareness and demonstrate how it’s possible to live well with dementia – a mission close to her heart. 🎶 An essential part of this journey is ensuring financial independence for those with dementia while protecting them from the growing threat of fraud and scams. It’s about providing people with the tools to manage their money safely, with dignity, and giving families peace of mind. Sibstar is a solution that supports both sides of this challenge, helping families navigate the difficult balance of offering assistance without taking away independence. Together, we can help people live well with dementia and safeguard their future. 💙 #DementiaAwareness #Sibstar #ScamPrevention #DementiaCare #AlzheimersSociety #Mastercard #financialinclusion #fintechforgood #safespendingforall Mastercard Deborah Meaden Jayne Sibley Alzheimer's Society

We at Sibstar fully support this important research carried out by Financial Inclusion Commission, supported by Mastercard The research highlights growing financial exclusion in the UK, the impact of which we hear everyday from the families we speak to and help. It is a very real issue and the need is immediate. A Government led National Financial Inclusion Strategy, cannot come quick enough. #financialinclusion #fintech #collaboration
We are proud to announce the release of our latest research on #FinancialInclusion, conducted by the team at CHASM - Centre on Household Assets and Savings Management and supported by Mastercard. This work highlights growing financial exclusion and offers solutions to bridge the gap, ensuring everyone has access to essential financial services. Our Chair, Chris Pond, said: "This research provides a baseline for a government-led National Financial Inclusion Strategy, which we hope is now imminent. The findings reveal a truly depressing picture of wasted human and economic potential which is holding Britain back. The Government needs to close the financial inclusion gap as a priority to unlock inclusive growth by drawing on the skills and ambitions of all citizens, including millions who are currently financially excluded."
