Credit card fraud

Top tips on keeping your credit cards safe

  • Don't let your card out of your sight and never leave it unattended.
  • Carefully discard receipts from card transactions to prevent others from acquiring information about you and your cards.
  • Never write down you Personal Identification Number (PIN) and never disclose it to anyone, even if they claim to be from your card issuer or the police.
  • Sign any new cards as soon as they arrive. Ensure that you cut up the old card as soon as the new ones become valid.
  • Check you receipts against your statements and if you find an unfamiliar transaction contact your card issuer immediately.
  • Report lost or stolen cards to your card issuer immediately. The 24-hour emergency number is on your last statement.
