Fraudsters are getting smarter — and debit cards are a favorite target. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently shared some simple ways to keep your card safe and your money where it belongs.
Their advice is straightforward:
• Don’t share your PIN or card info.
• Keep an eye on your account activity.
• Report suspicious charges right away.
• Use alerts and security tools from your bank.
We can help you! With Bank of Easton’s new CardGuard app, you can:
• Turn your card on or off instantly if it’s lost or stolen.
• Set use restrictions based on an amount or geographical location.
• Get real-time alerts for card transactions.
It’s an easy way to stay in control and stop fraud before it starts. Read the full FTC article for more details on how to protect yourself:
