Don’t let identity theft happen to you
8 October 2008
Credit card details can easily be stolen by determined thieves. Over 380,000 Australians fall victim to credit card fraud each year. Many do not even realise it until it is too late. There are a variety of ways that your credit card details can be stolen. Unfortunately, retrieving your stolen money can be a long and difficult process.
Falcon is an anti fraud protection system developed by ANZ to help protect customers from becoming victims of credit card fraud. This protection system is active 24/7 watching transactions made by customers. If there are any suspicious transactions made Falcon immediately reports them. ANZ then contacts the cardholder to confirm if the transaction belongs to them.
Falcon makes a note of overseas transactions, putting a hold on the credit card account until the purchase is confirmed. If you are travelling overseas, it is important to notify ANZ so they are aware that your ANZ credit cards will be potentially used overseas.
When applying for a credit card, it is important to consider security. Find the best credit cards that offer you the best protection and the best credit card reward programs.
