Choose payment methods with robust security features like Verified by Visa or Mastercard SecureCode. These add an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.
Protecting Your Information
Use strong, unique passwords for your online accounts. Consider a password manager to help you generate and securely store these passwords. Avoid using public Wi-Fi for financial transactions; use a secure, private network instead.
Check the website’s security certificate. Look for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar and ensure the URL begins with “https”. This indicates a secure connection.
Review your bank and credit card statements regularly for any suspicious activity. Report unauthorized transactions immediately to your financial institution.
