Security

Using the card is safer than carrying cash. When using the card for payments or cash withdrawal, you will need to enter a PIN (in certain countries, you may be required to sign the sales receipt). PIN is a secret identification number known only to the card holder. Therefore, it should be kept secret and it should not be written down on a paper near your card.

If you forget your card PIN, and you use online banking, you can check your card PIN any time in our mobile app (m-zaba).

The user is obliged to report a lost or stolen card immediately to the bank’s Contact Centre (24/7) via tel. 01 3789 789 and confirm the report in writing in nearest branch of the bank.

It is also possible to report a lost/stolen card in the nearest bank branch.

Please adhere to the following pieces of advice:

  • Remember the PIN and never write it down on the card or other documents
  • Destroy the old card (it will suffice to cut it through the magnetic stripe) after the expiration date
  • Do not communicate the PIN or card data EVER to ANYONE
  • Do not leave the card in visible places (in the car, in a cloakroom, in a hotel room, restaurant, etc.)
  • Make sure to check the transaction amount prior to payment
  • After the payment, verify that the card returned to you is really yours
  • Keep our address and telephone number handy to be able to quickly report a lost or stolen card.
