Welcome to the South African Fraud Prevention Network (SAFPN)

We foster collaboration among government departments, banking, finance, industry, and private business to stamp out fraud, expose fraudulent activity and safeguard the economic wellbeing of South Africa. Sharing intelligence between organisations has proven to be one of the most effective ways to detect and prevent fraud. We proactively share information and resources to detect, prevent, and publicise fraud and financial crime, making it harder to commit and easier to expose.

About Us

SAFPN is an NPO dedicated to making financial crime harder to commit and easier to detect. Through intelligence-sharing and the power of collaboration, we are committed to protecting business and consumers, and preserving investor confidence, all for the common good. At SAFPN, we believe that resolving matters of fraud amicably is in everyone’s best interests. We work closely with fraudsters to help them understand the gravity of their actions and encourage them to engage with us to resolve matters in a fair and just manner. As an NPO, we perform our duties as a free, public service – with the intent of working together towards a safer, more transparent environment for businesses and individuals in South Africa. If you or someone you know is involved in fraudulent activities, we urge you to contact us immediately to avoid the far-reaching consequences that may follow.

Our Approach

SAFPN’s comprehensive approach to combating financial crime involves coordinating efforts with various stakeholders, including investigators, detectives, forensic professionals, legal experts, and even the private sector.

In cases where fraudsters fail to resolve matters amicably, SAFPN is dedicated to initiating criminal actions and ensuring protection for the victims. To optimise our efforts and ensure a coordinated response, we work closely with top law enforcement agencies and investigative departments, including the Hawks, the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) of the South African Police, and the Socio-Economic Offences Unit.

We encourage individuals and organisations to join us in our efforts to combat fraud in South Africa. By working together, we can create a safer, more transparent environment for businesses and individuals alike.

Our Team

Our team comprises dedicated professionals with diverse backgrounds and expertise in the fields of finance, law, and technology. We work tirelessly to ensure that our mission is upheld, and that we continue to protect the economic interests of South Africa.

Resources

We have compiled a list of resources and tools to help you better understand fraud prevention, financial crimes, and the steps you can take to protect yourself and your business. These resources aim to educate and empower individuals and organisations to join us in our mission to combat fraud in South Africa.
