Yima

Our Vision is to enable and empower consumers to protect themselves against the threat and impacts that scams pose to us and our economy. Creating an environment conducive to growth and success rather than one riddled with fear and obscurity.

Our Mission is to fight back against scams by creating awareness and educating consumers about the threat, while sourcing tools and techniques to help us defend ourselves and protect those that we care about. To stand up against the perpetrators and take back control of what’s ours.

STOP. THINK. DON’T GET SCAMMED

The information and tools on this website are designed to educate and engage the user on a subject that is difficult to absorb. By sharing and communicating Yima’s message “Stop. Think. Dont Get Scammed.”, we inform others about the risk and how to protect themselves.

The Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (“SAFPS”) launched this consumer-focused fraud prevention tool called Yima, which means “stop” in Zulu and Xhosa,

Yima is dedicated to the prevention of scams and to detecting and understanding their impact on consumers and businesses alike.

This revolutionary platform will further enable us on our digital security journey and help us in our fight to put a stop to scams by:

• Engage and empower the consumer on all things related to fraud prevention.
• Create awareness about scams.
• Provide tools to help detect, prevent, investigate and analyse scams.
• Educate users and Banking employees about trends and the way scammers work.
• Provide members with a value-added service for their customers while creating awareness about fraud.
• The introduction of YIMA will allow the SAFPS to be more visible to both consumers and businesses with regards to scams

It’s time to break the silence and put a stop to fraud.

Together let’s #BeatTheScam!
