Worried about credit card crime?

With more and more of us shopping online and over the phone, protection from fraud is more important than ever. Most banks now offer a fraud protection guarantee so you won’t pick up the bill if someone steals your credit card details.

You’re safe with uSwitch.com

The VeriSign logo at the bottom of our pages means that the page on which you enter your contact details is encrypted and totally secure. uSwitch.com is committed to protecting your privacy.

Pin down fraudsters as you shop

You’re probably familiar with the chip & PIN system that’s now being used in all shops. Instead of using your signature to authenticate purchases, you now enter your unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) when you pay. The chip in your card contains encrypted information and verifies that the PIN number you enter is correct.

The fight against fraud

To ensure your credit card details aren’t used without your consent:

  • Check your card statements regularly – if anything seems unusual, alert your credit card provider immediately
  • The only person who should know your PIN number is you – never tell anyone what the number is. Not even your bank

Switching made simple

If you use the uSwitch.com comparison service to choose your credit card, you can apply for the card by visiting the issuer's website via our provided link.

Any information you give to uSwitch.com in the process of making your online UK credit card comparison is secure. If you choose to apply for a UK credit card online, you will be visiting a site outside of uSwitch.com with its own privacy policy. Start your credit card comparison to benefit from our secure switching service.
