Identity Fraud

Identity fraud or identity theft is a major issue worldwide. One of the major forms of identity fraud is through our credit cards. There are a number of methods that thieves use to access your personal information, however there are some changes that you can make to decrease your chances of this occurring, including:
  • If your credit card is lost or stolen, contact your financial institution immediately and can cancel the card as well as any further transactions.
  • Be aware when giving your credit card information online or over the phone. If they look or sound suspicious think again about proceeding or ask for alternative payment methods.
  • Keep an eye out for unusual transaction on your credit card statement and if you find one notify your institution immediately.
  • Consider changing your Personal Identification Number (PIN).
  • Don't keep a copy of your PIN on you such as in your wallet.
To find a credit card that suits you best, compare credit cards online. Alternatively check out the table below for a list of low rate credit cards.
