1. What will happen if the credit card security code is leaked? The credit card security code is usually a three-digit number next to the signature line on the back of the card. Everyone should take security measures and try to cover it when using the card to prevent others from seeing this set of numbers. If the security code is leaked and the credit card number is known to others, the card may be stolen even if you still have it. After all, many overseas websites now allow you to make purchases by simply entering your credit card number and security code.
2. How to remedy it? There is only one way, which is to call the bank to report the loss of your credit card, and then apply for a new card to prevent losses caused by theft of the credit card. After the credit card is reported lost, the bank will send a new card to the cardholder's billing address in about a week. After you get the new card, you can activate it and use it. The new card number, security code, expiration date and other information will change, but the password will remain the same. The password of the old card will be used. The old card will be officially invalid after the new card is activated. It should be reminded here that it is not free to report the loss of a credit card and replace it. Most banks will charge a loss report fee of about 20 to 50 yuan. There may also be a fee to replace the card. This money is directly deducted from the credit card limit and included in the credit card balance. In the first period of the bill, if you have not received the new card before the bill comes out, you must repay the money to the old card in time. As for the repayment method, it is recommended to transfer the repayment through the credit card number of the old card. After all, if the old card is reported lost, you cannot directly insert the card for repayment.
