โ€œFor many people on the call, you could need this digital loan, or you could know someone within your household, or even family, that would need the same, but they need to be made aware of their rights. And in case anything goes wrong, as the regulator, they can reach out to us, not just in investigating, but also providing regulatory guidance", @Birikujja #DontMakeItEasy #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
