Refunds in the event of fraud
We take fraud very seriously. That's why you'll be 100% protected if fraudulent purchases are ever made with your card.
Zero Liability with your Visa Desjardins card
Zero Liability protection covers you in the event of fraud. If someone uses your card to make purchases in a store or online, you won't be held responsible for the unauthorized transactions charged to your account and you won't have to pay anything.
If you see that your card was used to make a fraudulent purchase, let us know right away.
