Protect Your Debit Card During the Holiday Shopping Season

As Christmas shopping ramps up, so does the risk of debit card fraud. To help keep your financial information secure, please review the following best practices — and know that our fraud-monitoring partner, SHAZAM®, is here to help protect your account.

1. Avoid using public Wi-Fi for purchases
Public networks are more vulnerable to breaches. Use a secure home network or your mobile data when entering card information.
2. Shop with reputable retailers
Confirm that websites are legitimate and encrypted. Look for “https” and trusted retailer indicators before making a purchase.

3. Enable transaction alerts
Text or app notifications can help you identify unauthorized activity right away.

4. Inspect card readers before use
Check ATMs, gas pumps, and point-of-sale terminals for loose or unusual components that may signal a skimmer.

5. Consider tap-to-pay or mobile wallet options
These payment methods add extra layers of security and reduce the risk of your card data being compromised.

6. Monitor your account frequently
Regularly review account activity during the holiday season so you can report any suspicious transactions quickly.

A Note About SHAZAM Fraud Alerts

If SHAZAM® detects unusual activity on your debit card, they may reach out to you by:

Phone: 855-219-5399

They will never ask for your full card number, PIN, or online banking credentials.

Wishing you a safe and secure Christmas shopping season!
