Safety Measures for Debit Cards in Israel
In Israel, keeping your debit card secure is critical, and STB Union prioritizes card security. First and foremost, keep your debit card information and the 3D secure code safe. Never write it down and never reveal it to anybody, even to STB Union employees. Consider setting SMS notifications to receive real-time updates on card transactions. As a result, you may report any unlawful activity immediately. Furthermore, STB Union provides the option to temporarily block your card if it is lost or stolen.
Be aware of your surroundings when using an ATM. Keep an eye out for any strange gadgets linked to the machine, a method known as “skimming”, which hackers employ to steal credit card information. When purchasing online, make certain that the website is safe. A secure connection is indicated by a padlock icon in the browser or a URL beginning with “https.” Consider utilizing a secure payment channel for increased security.
On top of that, be aware of the transactions that cannot be made with a debit or prepaid card. Namely: transactions involving an unknown sum (for example, renting a car), making a deposit, for example, for a hotel reservation.
Bottom Line
Using a debit card in Israel is your first step into the future of cashless transactions. STB Union prioritizes safety measures to protect its customers from potential fraud and embraces convenience and versatility so that Israeli citizens or foreigners can enjoy financial ease.
