The problem

Your customers are losing money — and it's affecting your institution

Financial scams don't just hurt your customers. They hurt your reputation, your relationships, and your bottom line.

$35,000
Average loss per elder fraud victim
When a customer loses their savings to a scam, they often close their accounts, blame the institution, and share the experience with family and friends. One fraud event can cost you multiple relationships.
68%
Of fraud victims say they trust their institution less afterward
Even when the bank did nothing wrong, customers associate financial loss with their bank. Proactive protection changes that narrative — you become the institution that warned them and helped them.

Fraud incidents are ever reported
Most victims never tell their bank or family. They carry the loss silently, withdraw from financial relationships, and are targeted again. Education before fraud happens is the only effective defense.

Who this is for

Built for financial institutions that care about their communities

🏦
Community banks
You know your customers by name. When one of them loses $40,000 to a grandparent scam, it hurts your whole community. ProtectMyCircle helps you fulfill your community protection mission with a real, practical tool.
🤝
Credit unions
Your members are your community. Scam protection is a natural extension of the credit union mission. Offer ProtectMyCircle as a member benefit and differentiate from larger banks that offer nothing like it.
📈
Financial advisors
When a client loses their retirement savings to a scam, you lose them as a client. Proactively protecting your clients from fraud is one of the most valuable things you can do — and one of the least common.
🏠
Mortgage companies
Wire transfer fraud at closing is one of the most devastating scams — average loss $150,000+. Train your clients before closing and protect the most important transaction of their lives.
🛡
Insurance agencies
Your clients trust you with their financial security. Adding scam protection to your client services deepens that relationship and gives you a powerful reason to stay in contact year-round.
👴
Senior living & care facilities
Residents are the highest-value targets for scammers. Offer ProtectMyCircle as a resident benefit and give families peace of mind that their loved ones have protection and education in place.

Founder & Information Security Officer · ProtectMyCircle · West TN

I spent 40 years inside banking and financial technology information security. I have seen firsthand how scammers target financial institution customers — and how devastating the losses are for families and for the institutions that serve them. I built ProtectMyCircle because I know what these scams look like from the inside, and I know that education is the only defense that actually works. This is not a product from a software company that hired security consultants. This is 40 years of real-world banking and Information Technology experience, turned into a tool your customers can actually use.
