Mastercard Debit card security checklist
Here’s some of the reasons why shopping using your Mastercard Debit card is the secure and convenient way to go:
• Traceable records
Purchases made using your Mastercard Debit card are all recorded. Aside from allowing you to better keep track of transactions made with your card.
• EMV chip
All Mastercard Debit cards are to be equipped with an EMV chip by June 30, 2018. For the cardholder’s protection, these EMV chip-enabled cards offer a more thorough form of payment authentication through an added layer of payment security. Through the creation of dynamic data, each chip transaction is unique and virtually impossible to replicate. This unique transaction code is usable only during a particular point-of-sale, preventing thieves from reusing it for other transactions.
• Less cash, less hassle
Loose change jingling in your bag. Crumpled pieces of money stuffed in different compartments of your bulging wallet. If you’re always on the go, using a Mastercard Debit card will help you keep your money where it should be. You’re also less prone to unwanted attention if you’re taking a long time counting money from your wallet each time you have to pay for something — especially big purchases.
