The initiative “Sicher Bezahlen” was initiated by the OeNB and is intended to serve as a central contact point for greater security in digital payment transactions. Together with banks, interest groups and public institutions, we are bundling resources and information offerings as part of the “Sicher Bezahlen” initiative in order to make a lasting contribution to the security of citizens when paying online and offline.
“Sicher Bezahlen” aims to combat the rapidly increasing dangers for citizens when paying, particularly through prevention, information and education.
As part of the initiative, oenpay created the information platform www.sicher-bezahlen.at in collaboration with the OeNB and partners. As a one-stop shop, the website brings together cross-industry information and resources for secure payments and thus offers citizens important information from a single source.
The website provides tips and instructions for the safe use of various means of payment. In addition, current scams and contact points in the event of an actual fraud case are listed and an overview of current initiatives and events on the subject of secure payment is offered.
The information platform “Sicher Bezahlen” was published and presented at a press conference on December 6, 2024.
