To enjoy safe online shopping through PIB cards, you must consider the following notes and guidelines:

  • Avoid using the card to pay through untrusted websites
  • Use the card at websites that offer 3D Secure authentication and have the "Mastercard SecureCode" logo on the payment screen
  • Choose a strong password on all websites that ask you to sign-in and register your card details, such as Apple and Amazon accounts, as a simple password can be easily predicted.
  • Do not share the OTP with others.
  • Make sure to use one card for online purchases to make it easier for you to detect any unauthorized use of your card.
  • Do not provide any highly personal and unusual data or information in case it is requested to complete the purchase.
  • No contacting party will request all your card details such as the CVV code on the back of the card and the 16-digit card number.
  • Do not underestimate any of the data recorded on the card, such as name or expiry date, as it is one piece of information requested when making purchases.
