Dispose of information securely

Shred any documents containing card information before discarding them.

Beware of phishing

Be cautious of phishing attempts via email or calls. Never share card details in response to unsolicited communication.

Protect your card

Cover the CVV number and a portion of the card number on the back to prevent unauthorized copying. Be cautious when handing over your card to others.

Stay alert at ATMs and gas pumps

Watch for suspicious card readers. If something seems unusual, avoid using the machine.

Password manager

Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords for different accounts.

Phishing scams awareness

Educate yourself about common phishing scams and tactics to avoid falling victim to them.

Reporting suspicious activity

Promptly report any suspicious activity to your card provider and relevant authorities.

Encrypt and protect devices

Use encryption and strong passwords/PINs to secure your PC and mobile devices. Ensure they're updated with the latest security patches.

Use antivirus software

Install reputable antivirus software to protect your devices from malware and cyber threats.

Public Wi-Fi caution

Exercise caution when using public Wi-Fi networks. Avoid accessing sensitive information or making transactions on unsecured networks.

Firewall protection

Enable a firewall on your devices to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic.


Mobile-Specific Measures:

Download Apps from trusted sources

Only download mobile apps from official and trusted sources to avoid malicious software.

Screen lock

Set up a secure screen lock (e.g., PIN, pattern, biometric) on your mobile device to prevent unauthorized access.

Find My Device

Enable "Find My Device" or similar features to remotely locate, lock, or erase your mobile device if it's lost or stolen.
