Debit and Credit Card Fraud

Cards remain a very safe way to pay for goods and services, both in the UK and overseas. If you are unlucky enough to be a victim of card fraud the good news is that you are protected by The Banking Code and should not suffer any financial loss as a consequence – provided you haven’t acted fraudulently or without reasonable care. 

Chip and PIN has made our cards much less likely to be used fraudulently in UK shops and businesses, and efforts continue to tackle fraud in other payment environments, such as internet and phone shopping.
