The Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) is looking for an anti-scam mascot to serve as a visual rallying call to bank customers to “stop and check before clicking”. It launched its anti-scam mascot design competition on April 16, offering $10,000 for the top entry, and $3,000 and $2,000 for the second- and third-placed designs, respectively.

But how will a mascot help in the fight against scams? 

Ong-Ang Ai Boon, Director, The Association of Banks in Singapore tells us more.
