In the last few years, we’ve seen multiple large-scale security breaches at national retailers and healthcare companies – and even at the IRS. Many Alliant members are understandably concerned about improving the safety and security of their credit and debit cards. Below, we've outlined a few tips to keep your cards more secure. And we've also included a list of some more in-depth resources where you can learn more about this topic.
Only use cards with zero-liability protection. Alliant Visa credit and debit cardholders are protected against fraudulent purchases with Visa's zero-liability protection.1
Use a digital wallet service like Visa's for online shopping. Click to Pay with Visa is a hassle free online payment service that you can use with your Alliant Visa Platinum, Alliant Platinum Rewards or Alliant Cashback Visa Signature credit card or your Alliant Visa debit card. It lets you pay at participating online retailers by simply entering your username and password. It's a great way to manage your online shopping experiences with a single account, without sharing your credit card number with every online retailer from which you purchase.
Check your accounts for unauthorized transactions. If you have an Alliant Visa credit card or an Alliant Visa debit card, it's easy to monitor your card activity anywhere, anytime by simply logging in to Alliant Online Banking and clicking through to your credit card or checking account.
Set up automated notifications so that you receive an alert when your Alliant debit card is used.
Treat your credit and debit cards like cash. You would never leave $500 sitting on the seat of your car or on your table in a restaurant, so don't leave your credit card sitting out in the open either.
Be careful when entering your PIN. Pay attention to your surroundings in the checkout line or at an ATM and shield the keypad from view as much as you can while entering your PIN (Personal Identification Number).
Change, then protect, your PIN. Change the PIN on your card, then once you've done so, keep your PIN secure.
Sign and activate new cards ASAP. When you receive a new card in the mail, sign it immediately and call to activate it as soon as you can.
Cut up or shred old cards and shred all card-related mail.
