  1. How to Protect Yourself from Credit Card Fraud While Traveling

  2. 1. Letting your card issuer know where you will be- When it comes to your credit card and bank account, you must let your issuer know where you are traveling and how long you plan to be out. By doing this, you can prevent them from flagging your account for suspicious activities.

  3. 2. Keeping it Minimal- Even if you have several credit cards, don’t bring them all with you on your trip. Using multiple credit cards while traveling increases the chances of fraudulent activities. Choose one card to use for the majority of your purchases when traveling, along with a backup card if you have one.

  4. 3. By freezing your Credit Card- The concept is to be able to lock or essentially turn off, a card in case it is lost. As a result, a thief would be unable to use a stolen card number to make unauthorized purchases. You can unlock or turn on the card if you locate it without having to contact the card’s issuer.

  5. 4. Monitoring your Account- While on the trip, make sure to check your account frequently and try to spot any unusual activity right away. However, you must take precautions when using Public WiFi Networks or PCs to access your data. You can avoid hackers by doing this.

  6. 5. Know who to contact- You must have the account details to prove your identity, as well as the knowledge of how to contact a credit card issuer. When your card is stolen, credit card issuers have several layers of protection in place, so make sure to note all the relevant details and contact information. After that, keep it separate from the card in a secure location
