Guidelines to follow when using the card or online services

  1. It's important that you always keep your credit card details, including the card number, CVV, and expiration date, private. Confidentiality should be maintained for all your credit card information and should only be provided to those who are authorized by PNB to obtain that information. 
  1. Never give up your One-Time Password (OTP) or online banking password to anyone, even if they say they are calling on behalf of PNB or representing PNB by email or text messages. PNB never requests OTPs or online banking passwords over the phone, via email, or SMS. 
  1. When you're buying something online or using an e-commerce platform, be sure to check that the website you're using has a secure and valid HTTPS connection. Be sure to only enter your credit card details on these types of websites. 
  1. It is important to check your credit card statement routinely for any unusual or unauthorized transactions and to report them as soon as possible to customer service at PNB. 
  1. Do not use public Wi-Fi when accessing your online banking account or making any online purchases, as these networks can be vulnerable to criminal activity. 
  1. Do not respond to phone calls, emails, or text messages that ask for personal or financial information under the guise of account verification or rewards. This is usually a phishing attempt. 
  1. If your credit card is lost or stolen, immediately contact PNB to put the credit card on a hot-list to stop any fraudulent activity from taking place on your card. 
  1. Make sure that your contact information remains updated with PNB so that you can receive alerts for every transaction that you make and be able to quickly identify any suspicious activity.
