Help & support
Card fraud occurs when someone uses your bank cards or accounts to make purchases you didn’t authorise or know about. They do this by using your physical bank cards (whether lost or stolen) or card details that they’ve gotten hold of without your knowledge.
Here are the most common ways card fraud can occur:
