About
We're building what we wish we'd had.
Veillons started from a simple observation: when a parent gets caught on the phone, it is almost never for lack of intelligence. It is for lack of someone to ask, right at that moment.
The problem we take seriously
The fake bank adviser scam has become the number one fraud in France. It breaks no security system: it calls, it reassures, it rushes, and it gets the person themselves to approve the transfer. No password and no two-factor check stops someone who has been convinced.
What makes someone vulnerable isn't age. It's being alone at the moment of doubt. 750,000 older people in France no longer have anyone to ask “is this normal?” That gap is what we want to close.
What we believe
- Watching over is not watching.
- A product that hands a child control over a parent's money is a bad product, however good the intention. The current version accesses no bank account and sends no check to a relative.
- The parent decides, always.
- They choose which message to check and only they see the answer. Nothing is sent to their family without their knowledge.
- We only promise what we can deliver.
- We don't block transfers, because we have no power to. We don't publish detection rates we cannot prove. On a subject like this, overstating is a fault.
- A misleading answer does real damage.
- Veillons explains the reasons behind its assessment and recommends using official contact channels whenever doubt remains. The app supports a decision; it does not replace a bank or the authorities.
Where we are
Veillons is available for free on iPhone and Android. The first version lets you paste a suspicious message and receive a clear assessment within seconds.
We keep talking with families to improve the app and prepare its next features while holding onto one principle: helping without monitoring.
