- If you use a PIN with your card, don’t write it on your card or keep it with your card.
- Never let your card out of your sight, even while a transaction is being recorded.
- Tear up your sales draft receipts before discarding them. Request the merchant does too.
- Check monthly statements for accuracy and/or suspicious charges.
- Contact us immediately if there are any suspicious charges.
- Keep records of all cards along with the phone numbers of each issuer.
