Like other visible products, credit cards today have become an indicator of the user's status and also a reflection of one's personality. No wonder an increasing number of people love to flaunt their cards at the drop of a hat.

However, along with the numerous benefits of plastic money, there's also a huge cost involved in case your card or its data gets stolen and is misused by someone else.

So, how to protect your card from being misused???

Put your signature fast

idea posted by Esha Johar Risk Analyst, Irevna

Always put your signature on the signature panel of your card as soon as you receive it. Although this is one of the terms and conditions of a card's use set by the associations, this may also help prevent its misuse in case it falls into the hands of someone else.

Simply because that person can put one's own signature behind it and start using it without alerting the merchant's suspicion. Also, if the card is later recovered, then you may be held liable for all the transactions done by that person.

Don't give photocopy of both the sides

idea posted by Rajyalakshmi K Accounts Manager, Standard Chartered

Do not provide photocopies of both the sides of the credit card to anyone. This is because the card verification value (CVV), which is required for online transactions, is printed on the reverse of the card.

Anyone can use the card for online purchases if the information is available with one.

Thanks Esha. Besides fingerprints we can also go in for DNA Printing and other such advanced technologies.

Follow the guidelines strictly

idea posted by Shashi Kumar U Manager accounts & commercial, Mazda Concrete Products Pvt Ltd
All banks that issue credit/debit cards gives you guidelines and other instructions both at the time of issue and also from time to time. I think if these instructions are followed correctly and promptly one can prevent misuse of one's credit/debit cards.

Introduce Unique Biometric Smart Card for every citizen

idea posted by Kris Dev CEO/MD/Director Life Line to Business

Introduce Unique Biometric Identity (10 finger prints, iris, facial, palm vein, DNA, etc.) to protect the uniqueness of the card and prevent misuse. Do not allow cash transactions to prevent fraud from taking place and getting away with it. Instead if only card to card transaction is made mandatory, then, any wrong action can easily be traced through an audit trail and reversed at any time.

Prefer cards with photo

idea posted by Anupam Pandey Asst. Manager/Manager (Technical), Indian Air Force
Maximum of cards nowadays are coming with photo on it ,It,s always better go for with one although I have seen that maximum of retailers hardly look at cards before swiping it, and signature verification is almost nil but in case of photo person who finds it will always be in fear of getting caught more easily.

Get The Insurance Done

idea posted by Prassan Kumar Sharma AVP, Nirmal Bang Securities

Thanks Esha for inviting me to participate; well, definitely you are right that signature panel should be signed but there are frauds who can copy your signature and and not giving photocopy also is a very good idea at the same time using it on secure sites for on line transaction is another idea but at the same time these are measures when card is with you, in case it is stolen and we have got the lost card protection , so an information to call center in time saves us from all troubles. So always subscribe for lost card protection , and whether subscribed or not but immediately inform call center once you even have suspicion of loosing card. Would save you From trouble.
