Credit Card Security Tips

When you receive your Card

For your Face-to-Face Credit Cards Transactions

• Personally hand over and receive your card from the cashier when paying.
• Always keep an eye on your credit card. You should be able to see your cards in full view when the cashier dips/inserts your EMV chip credit card at the Point of Sale (POS) machine. The cashier or merchant representative should not take your card to another terminal location without your prior permission.
