In case you notice fraudulent transactions using your credit card from SBI Card, take quick action to report it and block your card, if needed.
Reviewing your credit card statement or the notifications you receive of a purchase as an SMS or email is important. It not only helps you use your card more responsibly but also helps you spot fraudulent transactions.
Key signs of unauthorised transactions using an SBI credit card are charges you did not authorise or charges from unknown locations. Immediately report these issues to SBI Card and block your credit card, if needed. You can also raise a dispute for the relevant transaction.
Act quickly, ideally within 3 working days, so that SBI Card can stop the transaction. This also ensures you have zero liability as per the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Keep in mind that the action taken by credit card companies depends on whether the fraud was caused by negligent usage. If so, they may not be liable to reimburse you for these transactions. Take care not to share your PIN, OTPs, or other credit card information without verification.
