Scammers are everywhere. You can play directly into their hands if
you are not careful. Protect your debit card by paying attention to the
following tips
1. Regularly update your details
Updating your contact details regularly (i.e. mobile number, e-mail, address, etc.) with your bank enables them notify you easily in the case of a suspicious transaction.
2. Watch
your online transactions
Be smart with your online transactions. When shopping, shop on credible sites and look for secure transaction symbols like the “lock” icon on your browser. Avoid using public hotspots for online payments by all means. It could be very risky.
