Debit Card Safety When Travelling | Be Fraud Aware

Top Debit Card Safety Tips for Sligo Credit Union Current Account Members When Travelling

Your Sligo Credit Union debit card gives you convenient access to your current account, including when travelling. While it's built with strong security features, it's still important to stay vigilant and protect yourself from fraud or misuse.

Here are some essential debit card safety tips to help you travel abroad with confidence:

🏦 1. Be Alert at ATMs
Before inserting your card, check the ATM for signs of tampering (like loose parts or strange attachments). If something doesn’t look right, cancel the transaction.

Safety First: Always take your card and receipt with you after using the ATM.

🌐 2. Avoid Using Public Wi-Fi
Avoid public Wi-Fi for banking, don't access online banking or enter card details over unsecured public Wi-Fi.

📱 3. Consider Using a Digital Wallet
Apple Pay and Google Pay offer added security through encryption and biometric login. Using your phone to pay means your card number isn't shared during the transaction.

❌ 4. Lost or Stolen Card? Act Fast!
If your debit card is lost or stolen, or you notice any suspicious transactions, call our Card Services team immediately on +353 (1) 693 3333 or freeze your card on Sligo Credit Union's mobile app. Support is available 24/7.

Also, we would advise you to have back up payment methods, carry a second card or some local cash in case your main card is lost or blocked.

🧾 Final Thoughts
At Sligo Credit Union, your financial security is our priority. By following these simple tips, you can enjoy the convenience of your debit card while keeping your account safe when travelling abroad.

If you have any concerns or questions, don’t hesitate to contact our Member Service Centre at 071 931 7500 or email info@sligocu.ie.
