Check it’s really Mum before you send the money.
A familiar voice is easy to fake now. Pair once with the people you trust; on any call, you each read a different word. If both match, it’s really them.

Illustration of the ritual: each of you reads a different word.
Pair once. Check on any call.
Pair once
Scan each other’s QR code when you’re together, or send an invite link when you’re apart.
Read your words
On any call, each of you reads a different word. The words change every 30 seconds.
Match, or hang up
Both match: it’s really them. No match: hang up and call back on a number you know.
Check your bank’s calls, too
Organisations in the Hongi directory are vetted: Hongi checks their web domain and reviews their logo and official numbers. Add one once; when they call, you read your code and they read theirs back.
You stay pseudonymous: no account, and the organisation never learns your name, number or contacts.
Real app screen, fictional bank
No account. Hongi is never part of your call, and the secret you share with someone stays on your two phones.
