Actively manage spending limits and reduce the risk of fraud

According to the police, card fraud offences come to an average of around 1000 to 2000 francs, if not higher. Or, to put it another way: the fraudsters use the card to buy as many goods as possible – until the limit is exhausted. However, there is a way to limit such losses due to fraud: actively controlling and setting purchase limits.

With most banks, spending limits can easily be actively managed in e-banking via the self-service centre. If you are unsure, you can also contact your customer advisor or the bank's service line. It is recommended that the payment limit be set as low as possible. A simple process to protect yourself from phishing traps and fraud.
