As part of Consumer Protection Month 2026, Desert FM catches up with Junias Erasmus, consumer education specialist at the Namibia Financial Institutions Supervisory Authority (Namfisa). Guided by this year's campaign theme, 'Know Your Rights, Secure Your Future', Erasmus highlights how Namfisa protects everyday citizens operating in non-banking financial sectors – including insurance, retirement funds, micro-lenders and medical aids. He breaks down critical steps for consumer safety: scrutinising contracts, verifying provider registrations before taking out loans or investments, detecting online FinTech scams, and filing official complaints when treated unfairly.
