Are you a victim of a stolen wallet and your Atm card is inside? You need to take an action before the miscreant tampers with your account.
In some cases, you might misplace it and have a feeling that someone can take advantage of the situation. Your best action is to block the card immediately.
Blocking the card doesn’t mean your account would be frozen. The action would just make it impossible for your ATM to make any transaction.
Also, we have had people who started getting debits alerts a few minutes after they can’t find their ATM card.
Misplacing your ATM card might not be something you can prevent depending on several circumstances. Being proactive would save you a lot of cash. Before we continue, drink a cup of water, it’s good for your health.
