In fact, in our daily life, our personal information is often leaked. For example, receiving unknown recommendation text messages, harassing phone calls, spam and so on. Maybe we are used to these phenomena, but personal privacy is one of our private properties and should be well protected. So how to protect your privacy when using credit cards? Let's have a look.

When the card is opened

First of all, you must choose to open a card in a formal institution or platform stipulated by national laws to prevent personal information from being used by criminals. If you make an appointment for on-site business, the staff need to show their work permit to determine whether it is true. In addition, you can mark the words "This copy is only used to apply for a bank credit card, and the copy is invalid" on the copy of your ID card to prevent it from being used again by others.

When in use

After the credit card is approved, you must also remember to protect the security of the card during use to avoid theft or password disclosure. It can also be set in the payment mode as: password plus signature, double-guarantee transaction mode.

In addition, don't write the password on the back of the credit card to prevent it from being lost or stolen, and you can't set the password as an easily guessed password such as birthday. When paying, remember to use the credit card without leaving your sight, and pay attention to your actions when swiping the card to prevent personal information from being stolen because of some bad card habits or some small details.

Furthermore, if there is no need to use the card after opening it, don't put it aside. It is best to cancel such a card in case it is stolen.

When using ATM machines or other self-service equipment, pay attention to whether there are abnormal phenomena around the fuselage or whether there are suspicious people around. In addition, don't lend your card to relatives and friends, because the consumption information on the card will affect your credit and future business. It's best to use your own card. If you receive text messages or phone calls from friends and relatives who need to apply for a card, you must check the reliability of the message with yourself and be cautious about your identity and account name.

Before entering the self-service bank with access control system and operating on ATM and other self-service equipment, please pay attention to whether the fuselage is abnormal and whether there are suspicious attachments around it.

In addition to SMS requests from relatives and friends, you must be vigilant when receiving other SMS messages. If you are prompted to change the account balance or other information, be sure to confirm whether it is my operation or checking with the bank.

In short, the protection of personal information is very important. We must pay attention to every detail in case our personal information is stolen.
