How can you prevent your Visa PaySika bank card from being blocked automatically?

To prevent your PaySika Visa card from being automatically blocked, here are some practical tips:

Avoid having more than two failed payments due to insufficient funds.

Yes... because if you have more than two failed payments, your card will be blocked and you will need to pay 500 FCFA to unblock it. Avoid making fraudulent transactions.

Ensure that your usual transactions do not trigger fraud alerts.

Unusual purchases or purchases in distant locations may cause an automatic block.

Check your balance before making an online payment.

Always make sure you have 5,000 to 10,000 FCFA more than the amount requested by the person in question.

Report your travels:

Inform PaySika of your trips abroad or outside your usual area. This will prevent your transactions abroad from being considered suspicious.

Use security notifications:

Enable SMS or email notifications to monitor your account activities. This way, you will be alerted in real-time to any suspicious transactions.

By following these tips, you will reduce the risk of your card being blocked and ensure smoother and more secure usage.

Protect your card information:

Avoid sharing your card number or banking information on unsecured sites or with unreliable people.

Contact customer service if in doubt: If you notice any suspicious activities or if you have any concerns.

By following these tips, you will reduce the risk of your card being automatically blocked and ensure smoother and more secure usage.
