Why are transactions with a contactless credit card safe?

• While creating methods that monitor, predict, and prevent fraud cases, Garanti BBVA and MasterCard develop very advanced fraud prevention techniques to ensure that you will be least affected in such cases. With secure coding technology, your contactless Environmentally Friendly Bonus is as secure as your usual credit card.

• You are in control! - Your Environmentally Friendly Bonus cannot make a payment unless you request otherwise.

• No accidental payments - Your Environmentally Friendly Bonus must be placed within a distance less than 10 cm from the reader device for a payment transaction to be executed.

• No double payments - Even if you scan your Environmentally Friendly Bonus  to the reader more than once during the payment, you only pay once.
  

PayPass Technology

• The Environmentally Friendly Bonus has a contactless chip and radio frequency transmitter. During the payment, when you approximate your Environmentally Friendly Bonus to the reader, payment details are transmitted to the MasterCard network. You get the payment approval soon after you hear the beep sound.

Security Advice

• If you are worried about protecting your credit card information, just follow a few simple steps to relieve yourself of this stress.

• Stolen cards are mostly used within the first 48 hours. If you notice a suspicious transaction performed with your card, do not use your Environmentally Friendly Bonus, and do call the Customer Communication Center at 444 0 333 immediately and inform the bank of the suspicious transaction by following step 1.

• Make sure you know where your Environmentally Friendly Bonus is, and keep it somewhere safe.

• Check frequently that not only your Environmentally Friendly Bonus but also your other credit cards are with you in order to make sure that they are not lost.

• Create a single list including the following information about all your cards: card number, expiry date, and emergency number written on the back. Keep this list in a safe place, separated from your cards. You can use the information on this list if you lose your card or it gets stolen.
