If you lose the sticker, you need to contact the bank as soon as possible and block the card. This can also be done in the mobile application. The following instructions are offered to Sinara Bank clients:
Open the mobile app.
Select the sticker on the Accounts & Cards screen.
Click on the mini-map image located above the operations feed.
Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
Scroll down to the very bottom of the screen and select the option "Temporarily block card".
After that, you can contact the bank to issue a new mini-card with gansu mobile number database new details. The fraudster will not be able to make any purchases with the old sticker, as it will be invalid.
Where to stick the sticker
To make the sticker convenient to use, it is recommended to stick it on the back panel of the mobile phone:
to the right of the camera, if space allows;
at the very bottom of the panel if the sticker does not fit to the right of the camera.
iPhone owners try to stick stickers on the Apple logo, but it's a bad place. There's a chip under the logo that will block the signal from the mini-card chip.
If the phone is in a case, it is recommended to attach the sticker to the case, not to the phone itself. Otherwise, there is a risk that the payment will not go through.
How to protect a sticker
The protection methods are standard for all cards:
Do not write the PIN code on the card. If it falls into the hands of criminals, they will be able to withdraw all the money from the ATM using the PIN code.
Set up SMS notifications about purchases. If you don’t notice that the sticker is lost, then the notification about the first purchase will be an important signal. You will be able to immediately block the card in the mobile application. Without SMS notifications, there is a risk that the attacker will spend all the funds before you notice the loss.
Set a monthly or weekly spending limit. This is a good way to limit impulse purchases, but it also helps limit the options available to a thief if your mini-card is lost.
Get insurance coverage. If you keep a large amount of money in your account, it makes sense to insure your card against theft or loss.
