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 onlineit 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.
