Cyberpolice warns: how to protect your bank card from fraudsters
CyberpoliceUA reminds Ukrainians about the importance of payment card security. In the face of rising fraudulent schemes, especially online, following simple rules can significantly reduce the risk of losing funds.
First of all, it is important to keep secret the three digits on the back of the card, known as CVV or CVC, as well as the PIN code. This information is key to accessing your finances. It is also recommended not to enter card details on dubious websites, as this can lead to fraud. Another important tip is not to leave your card unattended, as this increases the risk of loss or theft.
Security Recommendations
Additionally, CyberpoliceUA advises:
- to connect SMS notifications for all transactions, allowing timely alerts about any movement of funds;
- to use the bank's official app to ensure security;
- to set limits on transactions and notifications to control expenses and reduce the risk of fraud.

Cyberpolice recommendations can be an effective tool for preventing fraud and preserving the financial resources of Ukrainians. Given the rise of online shopping, following such simple rules can help reduce risks and ensure the financial security of citizens.
