Protect your ATM card

 

Hello

 

Today, I want to cover a very important topic that deals with us all and I often struggle with it initially.

 

It is about your ATM card and online payments. Please pay attention to this today.

 

Once you start working online, you will inevitably need to interact with the international community.

 

Do you need to order your domain names, pay for online courses, buy some bags, books,

food, order your webhosting servers, pay for tools and resources

to help you build and run your biz?

 

Nigeria has evolved and doing all these is now easy because your bank's ATM card

can be used to make all these payments instantly...

 

..BUT please be CAREFUL.

 

Please note the following points am about to share below;

 

First, your card has 3 important information that you provide to get things done online.

 

Pull it out and check on the front of the card. You will notice a LONG number.

If it is a Master or Visa card, it should be like 16 numbers. Something like this:

4026 5622 7754 4906

Next on the front of the card, you will see the expiry date of the card also. Which is typically the month/year the card will expire.

Something like this:

11/30

 

Now, turn to the back of the card. You will see another number. It is usually called the CVV and it is a usually 3 digit(s).

 

Something like this:

126

 

These three combinations gives access to the funds to which your card is tied and

if you provide this information (except where there is

a second-level verification - e.g. text), access is granted.

 

People who are experienced, know what to do to protect themselves and where and how NOT to use their cards.

 

New people, however, like me (Laughs).... it is a different story. And the BIG

problem is that for most new people, the entire funds in their

savings may be tied to and accessible via the ATM cards they hold.

 

WARNING:

If you are new and don't fully understand this stuff yet, PLEASE avoid using your primary cards online.

 

But do this instead.

 

Option A

-------------

Go to any bank close to you and request a card called the AfriCard. UBA Bank does this a lot, Go early in the morning, fill the forms and collect it immediately.

 

Ask them how to use the card. Your account number is printed on the back of the card.

 

What you now do is to put funds you wish to use online on this SEPARATE card so that even if something nasty happens online, you are only exposed to the tune of what is available on the Africard.

 

Option B

-------------

Go to http://wallet.ng

Register on the site. Do the verifications.

 

If you don't know your BVN, simply Dial *565*0# to check from the phone you registered with.

 

After registering, fund your account with like N4,000

 

You will see options you can use for this. After you have funded,

look for the link to create a DOLLAR card and load $10 on the card.

(Only God knows how much is a dollar now) 

 

A virtual card with your name on it will be generated for you immediately. This is faster and you can try that now.

 

 

I really hope this helps!!!.
