Why Tichi Mbanwie Founded Konfydence
Tichi Mbanwie spent over 16 years in finance and compliance at global organizations like PIMCO and Ford, where security was taken very seriously. Outside the workplace, he watched it happen again and again: smart, experienced people — including close family and friends with strong financial backgrounds — falling victim to scams.
Fake lottery "wins" promising instant riches. Astronomical investment returns based on referring other people — not selling any products or services. Phishing calls from "Microsoft support" demanding urgent access. Sophisticated financial scams that drained accounts despite all the warnings.
Those triggers became the H.A.C.K. framework: Hurry, Authority, Comfort, Kill-Switch.
That's when Tichi became convinced: Traditional training — videos, quizzes, alerts — wasn't enough. We don't need more knowledge. We need a simple habit that works under pressure: the 5-second pause.
Konfydence was born from that conviction — to give people permission to slow down long enough to make a better decision.
Because if even finance pros can be hijacked in a moment of pressure, the answer isn't "be smarter." It's "be calmer — long enough to think."
"Scammers don't win because we're dumb. They win because they're fast. Konfydence gives you the one habit that makes you faster."
