What you need to know

Recognize the types of card fraud

Skimming and cloning

Skimming devices can be illegally attached to ATMs and point-of-sale terminals to copy debit and credit card numbers when you swipe or insert your card. Fraudsters also use hidden cameras to capture PINs. 

Card not present (CNP)

Fraudsters may attempt to make fraudulent purchases over the phone, online or by mail using stolen card numbers and PINs. Many online merchants ask for the 3-digit CVV (card verification value or card security code) number to confirm authenticity. 

Lost or stolen card

Fraudsters can make unauthorized transactions on your missing debit and credit card. It's important to report a lost or stolen card right away so we can help prevent unauthorized use.

Identity theft

Fraudsters can use your card to make transactions without your knowledge. They can use stolen debit and credit cards or information, or apply for new credit cards using stolen personal information.
