TIP #2: Manage your payments

TIP #3: Track your spending

Diligently monitoring your credit card transactions will make you less susceptible to fraud. Always ensure that all transactions noted on your statement are correct. Look at the new charges and match all transactions with your receipts. Make sure your last payment was recorded correctly. You can track your spending anywhere, anytime with RepublicOnline and RepublicMobile.

TIP #4: Treat your card as if it were cash

Your credit card should never be left out of your sight! Be sure to ask the waiters at your favourite restaurants if they have a wireless credit card terminal so that you can settle your bill right at the table with speed and ease, as well as eliminate possible fraudulent ‘skimming’ opportunities. If the restaurant does not have a wireless terminal, be sure to accompany the sales representative to the terminal area to complete the transaction.

TIP #5: Credit card limit increase

If you require an increase in your credit limit to cater for vacation, personal or even home expenses, simply go into any one of our branches. Be sure to apply early to ensure that your limit increase can be processed in time for when it is needed.

TIP #6: Vacation/business travel
  • Be sure to use your Republic Bank Credit Card to make your travel bookings such as airfare and hotel accommodation.
  • Republic Bank has a superior fraud monitoring system so that you can have ‘peace of mind’ when you are travelling abroad.
  • Always note your credit card account number and the Republic Bank 24 hours service number that are located on the reverse of your card. Store the numbers in a safe place, in the event that your credit card is lost or stolen you can contact the relevant assistance centres.
TIP #7: Phishing-Internet scams

Be suspicious of unsolicited emails that appear to have originated from your bank, asking you to verify personal or financial information. The email can also appear as an offer of rewards requesting that you provide your credit card account information in order for the rewards to be processed. Republic Bank will never send you an email or SMS requesting personal information, so kindly disregard these types of messages (emails & SMS).
