Security and privacy

You're protected!

Protecting your security and privacy is a key issue. That's why several security measures, such as electronic chips and transaction limits, make the transactions made with your card secure. The Zero Liability policy also protects you against fraudulent transactions made with your card. You're not held liable if fraudulent transactions are made to your card.

  • Don't lend your card to anyone.
  • Never give your PIN to anyone, not even to a caisse employee, police officer, friend or family member.
  • Always keep your card within sight during transactions.
  • Memorize your PIN. Don't write it down anywhere, especially on your card.
  • Be discreet: hide the keypad with your body or hand when you enter your PIN.
  • Refuse to enter your PIN on a keypad that you cannot hold in your hands.
  • Don't enter your PIN a second time without first verifying that the previous transaction was cancelled.
  • At the end of the transaction, take your card back and get a transaction receipt.
