Take 5 minutes to get free ID theft protection
One benefit of having a Consumers Mastercard® is access to a free resource that protects your identity. All Consumers debit and credit cards are eligible for the Mastercard ID Theft Protection™ program that helps detect and resolve identity theft.
Mastercard ID Theft Protection keeps your personal information safe with:
- ID Theft Alerts. Mastercard scours the internet and alerts you if it detects that your personal info – credit and debit card account numbers, Social Security number, driver’s license or other sensitive data – is being bought or sold online.
- Emergency Wallet Replacement if your cards and documents are lost or stolen.
- Expert Resolution Services to help you get back your good name if fraud does happen.
Get Mastercard Theft ID at no cost by signing up online – it only takes five minutes.
Tips for protecting your identity
There are also things you can do proactively to protect personal information from data thieves:
- Review monthly debit and credit card statements line by line. If you see transactions you didn’t make, report them right away.
- Be wary of emails or phone calls requesting personal information. Consumers and other legitimate financial institutions will not ask for personal information when initiating calls to card holders.
- Before disposing of your mobile phone, permanently delete all data.
- If you receive paper statements, be sure to shred them before disposing. Consumers offices offer a free shred bin for member use.
