Some important points to Card SAFETY and help protect against fraud.
Read these Card safety tips and learn simple ways to SAFEGUARD your card.
Card safety first
- Sign the signature panel on the back of your card as soon as you get it
- Never keep your PIN code in the same place as your card
- Never write your Personal Identification Number (PIN) on your card
Keep your account number private
- Keep your card safe — don’t let anyone see
- Never allow anyone else to use your card. It is yours and yours alone
- Don’t give the number over the phone unless you initiated the call and you’re talking to your bank or a merchant you trust
- Never allow your card to be taken out of sight
- Never answer an email that asks for your account number or personal information — even if it looks like it’s from your bank or a reputable company or organization
- Consider paperless statements to remove your sensitive information from the postal system
- Store paper statements and other documents with sensitive information securely, and shred prior to disposal
Be careful with your receipts
- Extra spaces on the receipt? Draw a line through them before you sign, so nothing can be added later
- Keep your receipts and check them against your card statements
- Don’t just toss receipts and duplicates — shred the ones you don’t need and securely file the rest
