Association of Banks in Singapore unveils anti-scam mascot Canny

Canny the chameleon, an anti-scam mascot, was unveiled by the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) on Nov 6 during the Singapore FinTech Festival at Singapore Expo.

The chameleon, which was the winning entry of the ABS Anti-Scam Mascot Design Competition in June, is the work of 10-year-old Constance Ambre Le Grand de Mercey.

ABS has commissioned ACT 3 Theatrics to perform anti-scam skits with games and quizzes in primary and secondary schools. This is expected to start in the first quarter of 2025.

ABS director Ong-Ang Ai Boon said: "We want the schoolchildren to get the anti-scam message early and help bring it home to their family members."
