Digital Security Tip

Using credit cards to shop online has become commonplace, but during the holidays our online shopping increases dramatically. Some banks and credit unions allow you to lock your card, or provide email or SMS notification of purchases. This is one of the fastest ways to detect fraud.

  • Lock cards when you’re not using them.
  • Don’t store your credit card information on online shopping sites.
