Barbados Central Bank issues warning about fraudulent website targeting the public
The Central Bank of Barbados alerts citizens to a fake website impersonating official financial services.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The Central Bank of Barbados (CBB) said on Wednesday that it has become aware of a fraudulent website that falsely uses a logo similar to the financial institution’s and is requesting payments from individuals.

“This website, bimpayer.pro, is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and engage in fraudulent activity. We strongly urge individuals not to visit or make any payments through this site, and to refrain from sharing any personal or financial information,” The CBB said in a brief statement.

The Central Bank says it does not request money or payments from members of the public, reminding them “that the official website for the national instant payment system is www.bimpay.bb, which can also be accessed through the Bank’s main website, www.centralbank.org.bb.

“Any other website claiming affiliation with the Central Bank or BiMPay should be treated with extreme caution. Members of the public who have already made payments or provided information through bimpayer.pro are encouraged to report the matter immediately to the Barbados Police Service and to contact the Central Bank’s Corporate Communications Unit for guidance.”
