Protect your card
Cover the CVV number and a portion of the card number on the back to prevent unauthorized copying. Be cautious when handing over your card to others.

Phishing scams awareness
Educate yourself about common phishing scams and tactics to avoid falling victim to them.

Install reputable antivirus software to protect your devices from malware and cyber threats.
Public Wi-Fi caution
