ScamWatch keeps an eye on your parents' bank accounts for the patterns scammers use — and texts you the moment something feels off. No app for them. No password sharing. Just peace of mind for you.
Free during the private beta. Be the first to know when we launch.
You stay in control of everything. Your parent connects their bank once, from their own phone — and then never has to think about it again.
Pick Mom or Dad from your contacts and we'll text them a private, secure link. The phone number is all we need to start.
They tap the link, choose their bank, and sign in with their own credentials through Plaid. You never see their password — and there’s nothing for them to install.
From then on it’s calm. Most days, nothing happens. The instant a transaction looks like a scam, you get a push with a plain-English explanation of why.
Not a flood of alerts. The few that count — explained in language anyone can act on.
Pig butchering, romance scams, tech-support fraud, IRS impersonation, lottery and inheritance cons — each has a fingerprint. ScamWatch matches transactions against that pattern library and only sounds the alarm when the shape fits.
The whole product lives in one notification. No dashboards to check, no reports to read. When $4,200 leaves Mom’s checking for a crypto exchange, your phone buzzes with the amount, the merchant, and what makes it suspicious — right on the lock screen.
Not every worry is fraud. Late-night Temu hauls, the QVC habit, gambling sites — set a weekly limit on any merchant and we’ll give you a soft heads-up when it’s crossed. A different, gentler tone, because this is a health signal, not a crime.
Scam patterns stay on, always. Everything else is yours to tune per person — large transactions, new payees, crypto and wires, international charges, late-night activity. Dial it loud or quiet, for Mom and Dad separately.
We can see transactions — never freeze cards, move funds, or touch a dime. That’s a promise baked into how we connect.
Your parent connects their bank from a web link and is done. No new app, no account, no learning curve.
Sunday mornings, a calm recap: how many transactions we reviewed and how many raised a concern. Usually zero.
Mom, Dad, an aunt — add as many as you look out for, each with their own banks, rules, and gentle alerts.
The single biggest worry families have is control. So we designed ScamWatch to be incapable of doing harm: we watch, and that is all.
No freezing cards, no transfers, no calls to the bank on your behalf. Read access only.
Plaid handles the bank login. The credentials never pass through ScamWatch.
Your parent can disconnect in one tap. When they do, the data goes with it and you’re notified.
ScamWatch is in private beta and coming to iPhone in 2026. Reserve your spot and we’ll let you know the day it’s ready.
Built for iPhone first. Android is on the roadmap.
