The Central Bank of Barbados (CBB) has issued a public alert regarding a deceptive website, bimpayer.pro, which is fraudulently using a logo resembling that of the Bank to solicit payments from individuals. This site is a calculated effort to mislead the public and engage in illicit activities. The CBB strongly advises individuals to avoid visiting or making payments through this platform and to refrain from sharing any personal or financial details. It is crucial to note that the Central Bank does not solicit money or payments from the public. The official website for the national instant payment system is www.bimpay.bb, which can also be accessed via the Bank’s primary website, www.centralbank.org.bb. Any other site claiming association with the Central Bank or BiMPay should be approached with utmost caution. Individuals who have already made payments or shared information through bimpayer.pro are urged to report the incident promptly to the Barbados Police Service and to seek guidance from the Central Bank’s Corporate Communications Unit.
