5 Security Measures to Protect Yourself from Credit Card Fraud

Skimming, identity theft, suspicious activity – the list of credit card frauds is long. Here are 5 security measures to protect yourself from becoming a victim.

Data security

Keep your credit card number, CVV, OTPs and PIN safe and confidential. These details are for your eyes only and should be kept private.

Card security

Keep your card secured and with you, always. Never let it go out of sight. Put it away after each use so that you don’t risk misplacing it.

Usage security

When using the card online, check if the payment gateways are encrypted with security measures. Beware of viruses and suspicious websites.

Loss or theft

If you lose your card or if it is stolen, report it immediately. Block the card so that it cannot be used for any unauthorised transaction.

Review and monitor

Always check your credit card statements for any suspicious transactions. If you find any unauthorised activity, flag it.
