As your financial partner, we provide tailored strategic insights, emphasising both fraud prevention and unlocking the full potential of flexible payment options.

With the insurgence of AI, recognising the developing nature of fraud, which can emanate from staff members, customers, suppliers, and unrelated third parties, is paramount to protecting your customers.

Tymit addresses these challenges by offering robust transaction monitoring systems, swiftly investigating any concerns and ensuring a secure financial environment.

Common Scams to Stay Alert Against:

  1. CEO Scams: Criminals adeptly impersonate top-tier executives, pressuring your team for urgent payments. For example, a fraudster might pose as the CEO via email, urgently requesting a sizeable payment to a specified account for what appears to be a critical business transaction.

  2. Invoice and Mandate Scams: Fraudsters assume the guise of regular suppliers, persuading businesses to alter bank account details. A fraudulent supplier might send an email claiming a change in banking information and requesting future payments be made to the new account.

  3. Purchase Scams: Exercise caution against scams coaxing businesses into purchasing non-existent products or services. A typical example involves an enticing offer for high-demand goods at unbeatable prices, luring businesses into making advance payments for products that never materialise.

Acknowledging the invaluable role your customers play in the success of your business, we are keenly aware of the rising challenges in ensuring their safety. In 2022, fraud incidents led to a staggering £1.2 billion in losses, underscoring the urgency of robust protective measures.

At Tymit, we make partner’s and their customer’s safety our top priority. Through consistent communication, regularly updated FAQs, and informative educational content, we strive to empower your customers with the knowledge needed to navigate potential risks confidently.

In line with our dedication to your customers and partners, Tymit is unwavering in upholding the highest industry security standards. By doing so, we ensure a resilient defence against emerging challenges, fostering a secure environment for all involved parties.
