What is Pay Attent!on?

Pay Attent!on is a Swiss prevention initiative run by the financial sector and the police on the subject of secure payments. The aim of Pay Attent!on is to educate the general public through prevention campaigns on payment fraud and to help the public recognise payment fraud at an early stage. The long-term objective is to strengthen personal responsibility and confidence in cashless payment.
