Nowadays, there are many channels for handling credit cards. Many people do not handle credit cards through banks. Although they talk about issuing credit cards, they are a little worried that credit cards are fake. In fact, there are many ways to know whether credit cards are legitimate or not. Let's take a look today.

If there is no bank channel to handle the card, the chances of getting a fake card will be greater. Nowadays, many fake cards made by criminals can be confused with the real ones, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false ones with the naked eye. If you are uneasy about getting a credit card, you can inquire through the following channels:

First, bank inquiry: bring a good credit card, go to the bank outlets where the credit card is displayed, or check the bank phone number online.

2. POS machine inquiry: None of the fake cards can normally swipe their cards on the POS machine. If the card swiping fails, corresponding error codes will be prompted, such as code 4, code 7, code 34, code 37, code 41, etc., and merchants will be prompted to confiscate the cards, indicating that the fake cards may have been swiped.

in addition to the above two channels, there are of course other query methods, so I won't introduce them much. Finally, I want to remind you that there are many new fraud methods. Like many credit card agents, they all give a fake card to cheat money and ask everyone to give money in the name of charging a card opening fee, but in fact, it is impossible to open a card because it is not a real credit card.

Therefore, in order to avoid economic losses, people still apply for cards through banking channels, such as outlets, and official website and WeChat online. As long as the official channels apply for cards, they can rest assured that the credit cards received are formal.
