Citi takes the prevention of fraud very seriously with measures in place for your protection and security. Card activation ensures that you have consented for your new or replaced cards to be activated for usage, Citi Alerts notifies you of transactions that are made to your accounts while 3D Secure authenticates all purchases made online to prevent fraudulent misuse of your account.
Fraud prevention is a shared responsibility and you can further prevent and protect yourself against fraud:
Keep your card safe.
Travel and shop safely.
Online safety.
Protect your card from double swiping.
The magnetic stripe on your credit or debit card contains sensitive payment card data.
To protect your information, the magnetic stripe of your credit or debit card should not be swiped on Point-of-Sale readers or Electronic Cash Registers which is known as “double swiping”.
Inserting or dipping a chip-enabled credit or debit card in a payment card terminal for payment is not considered as double swiping.
