Card fraud protection is probably the most important part of using credit and debit cards. After all, we use our cards for shopping, traveling, accessing money and a variety of other things, but as a card user you need to make sure that you are protecting yourself, and your money. While the growth of technology has allowed us to have credit and debit cards that we can use anywhere, this convenience also comes with fraud risk, from card skimming at gas pumps to online phishing.
As an avid online shopper myself, I am always double checking the security of a site before I purchase anything, and always make sure that I save the confirmation page as well as my account statements in case I need to dispute a charge. Maine Credit Unions are a great resource for information on how to keep your money safe. Many credit unions have information on their websites with tips on how to keep your card information safe. And while some tips may seem like common sense, like not to write your PIN number on your card, it is safety measures like that which can keep you from being a victim of card fraud.
