How to stay safe when shopping online
Seven tips to help you shop safely online
Visa, banks and merchants work hard to ensure every payment you make is secure – but there are also a few things you can do to make your online shopping experience safer.
1. Confirm your identity with ease: Set up biometric authenticated methods like fingerprints or facial recognition on your phones and within your banking apps. This will help you pay securely online without sharing any sensitive information.
2. Look for the “s”: When paying online, check the URL to ensure it starts with https://. The “s” at the end indicates a secure connection.
3. Sign up for transaction alerts: Stay in the know by signing up to transaction alerts through your mobile banking app. Visa has a “zero liability” policy* that may help you get your money back if someone else has fraudulently used your card.
4. Learn about “chargebacks”: A chargeback is a way for your bank to reclaim funds from a retailer’s bank when you don’t get the goods or services you paid for on your Visa debit or credit card. Whilst it is not a legal right and there is no guarantee, it’s good to know that this option is available and Visa requires your bank to assess the claim fairly.
5. Beware of phishing scams: Be careful of unsolicited and suspicious emails or phone calls requesting for personal information like passwords or account information. If in doubt, do not click on any link or download files.
6. Take advantage of one-click services: With some shops, you can use one-click payments. You set up your account details, prove your identity as the cardholder, and shop online easily without the need to enter your card details every time.
7. Update your apps and software: Install the latest software on your computer, tablet or phone which could help protect your information.
