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.

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
