Some people here are just
displaying ignorance because they
don't know how far ahead cyber criminals are.


With all the levels of security, American
Government & European organizations
got taken by Hushpuppi & crew.


Once your card details have been
accessed, the only remaining thing is
your PIN which they can bypass.
They know how to get the OTP by
try & error.

Otp is not even necessary to make online transaction, I've been making payment on e-commerce sites without otp being sent to my phone, I don't know why banks allow it to be like that, maybe because they trust those sites.

Oga, listen and learn from him.
Years back, I ordered refurbished common rail injection units for a truck I owned back then from the UK. They sent me an invoice. I asked how to pay, all they said was to provide them with my card number and expiry date. I had not finished calling the number over the phone when debit alert entered.
I was like how did they do it? shocked
Meanwhile I was here in Lagos oh.
And why didn't you report the fraud back then in UK
Because , according to financial laws what you just mentioned here is FRAUD...
see ,it is good to keep people updated
But some of us are also aware of some basic cyber security measures

Another thing, I think the Mastercard is more vulnerable to online transaction than Verve card, Verve card cannot be used for online payment so that keeps the account secure even if the fraudster have the card details?

Sometimes they don’t need your pin. Believe me . It’s always that last 4 digits of your ATM CARD AND THE three figures at the back.

You don't even need an OTP/Pin to make a payment with most international sites sef. Have you ever wondered why the bvn scammers demand you card pin, expiry date, and Security only? For an experiment, create an account on Namecheap, try to fund it with your card and see. Pls help educate people around you that there is something called CARD NOT PRESENT transactions.

I have read lots of argument and submission on this topic. With my experience in banking and transacting across the globe.Your account can be debited online without PIN or OTP just by quoting the PAN numbers(16digits in front) and Security(3 digits) not concealed at the back panel of the card.

However it is impossible if you had visited the bank or through a secure channel to set up your ATM card linked to your account to request for OTP and PIN (preferably OTP) for online transactions. With that properly set up,no system can take money out of your account without this 2FA authorization.

Verve cards are limited to Nigeria and as such demand OTP everytime. But Visa and Mastercard are used worldwide and some countries have no law concerning Otp and pin before transactions are done. The čVV at the back is used to process it and it is assumed that whoever provides it has the card too and is the owner. Read the terms and condition booklet in your card envelope.

Most foreign e-commerce sites, you don't need otp or pin to make purchases.

Only front and back of your card.
All Nigerian banks online banking , shopping etc are backed up by either PIN or OTP or both
I can't say for USA or UK
That is now the case here
The banks here adhere strictly to rules both financial and internet security

Smh, some folks don't know how things dey go at all. Go and be careless with your atm na, Na body go tell you when debit alerts dey rapture for your inbox. I'll rather go and queue at the ATM than use it to withraw from POS. It's only good for paying in imo. And the way banks give every tom and Harry POS and yet still refuse to track down scammers unless sufficient force is brought to bear is enough to dissuade anybody from messing around with POS agents. If I was a thief I don't even need to snap when I can easily memorize the digits. E go do you like film.

not really. If your card is enabled for online transactions no matter what card provider, there will be marketplace online to apply it on. You are partly right because most banks don't activate their verve card for online transactions.

Best safety is to have ATM account. That is a bank account you will used to make atm or Pos withdrawal and you will not keep substantial amount or your life savings in the account.

Once fraudster get hold of ur card number and that 3digit number at the back of atm card, getting your pin is small case.

Be cyber smart!

I do not even bother collecting an atm card for my online transactions, i simply opened a batter account and use their virtual card, i only fund the account only when i wanted to make an online transaction.

your pin is irrelevant when fraudsters are working... infact some young guys were caught, all they need is just tha phone number you used in opening your account, i mean your sim card you use in receiving bank alerts, in a blink of an eye, your money is gone and you run mad, you are there talking of pin...mtchewww

I am a financial consultant. Please stop misleading people. There are many ways fraudsters can steal Money from your accounts without your physical cards and pin.

It is a also important to know that the simplest thing for fraudsters to have access to is your ATM pin. For your information, POS can be enhanced to capture your pin without knowing.Nigerians are losing.millions to these fraudsters.

I never thought you could use Verve card to buy stuffs from sites like jumia and olist, I have always thought only Master card or Visa can complete any such online transaction.
