Visa Check Card Security Tips

  • Do not give your account number over the phone unless you initiated the call.
  • Memorize your personal identification number (PIN). Don't write it down in your wallet or on the back of the card. Don't designate the same PIN for all your cards, and don't designate a number such as your birth date, that can be found easily in your wallet.
  • If someone calls you claiming to be a bank representative and asks for your PIN number, don't give it to them. Report it to your bank and the police.
  • Never leave your cards unattended - at work, at your sports club, in a shop, or in doctor's office.
  • Don't leave your credit cards in your car's glove compartment. An alarmingly high proportion of all credit card thefts are from car glove compartments.
  • Don't lend your card. You are responsible for its use. Some credit card misuse can be traced directly to family and friends.
  • Always check your card when you get it back in a store or restaurant. It's easy for you to forget your card when you're in a hurry. It's easy for waiters or sales people to give you the wrong card when they're in a hurry.
  • Carry your cards with you when you travel. When you can't, for instance at the beach, put them in the hotel or motel safe. Never leave your cards in your hotel room, not even in a suitcase.
  • Know where your credit card is during your holiday shopping. If your card is missing call your card issuer's Customer Service number.
  • Report a lost or stolen card to the issuing institution immediately. Most fraudulent use of cards takes place within a few days of their being lost or stolen.
  • Sign the back of a new card as soon as you get it. If you don't, a thief could sign it for you - and use it.
  • Make a comprehensive list of all your cards and their numbers. Store it in a safe place. (Your wallet is not a safe place.) This is key information you'll need to report lost or stolen cards.
  • Always check your monthly statement.
  • Keep your sales slips, and check them off against your monthly statement to make sure no one else has used your card, or your sales draft wasn't altered by a dishonest merchant. Report any errors or unknown charges immediately.
  • Always take your charge slips and destroy the carbons if present.
  • Never write your card number on a post card or on the outside of an envelope.
  • Never mail a post card with personal information, such as birth date, social security number, or account number, on it. Always place it in a sealed envelope before mailing.
