With NewBridge Bank credit cards, customers have full protection against any fraudulent charges whether your credit card is lost or stolen.

The following tips will help reduce the chances that you will become a victim of credit card fraud:

• Sign your cards immediately once they arrive in the mail.
  
• Memorize your PIN and don't write it on anything, especially something in your wallet.
  
• Don't enter your credit card number online, unless you're on a secure site, or send your credit card number in an email.
  
• Keep a record of all your account numbers, expiration dates, and contact information for each issuer. This will come in handy if your wallet is lost or stolen.
  
• Report a lost or stolen card right away. Quick action will minimize potential loss and liability.
  
• Save your receipts to compare against your billing statement. When discarding receipts, tear them up or shred them.
  
• Monitor your statements monthly, making sure you recognize all charges. If you see any suspicious transactions, contact your credit card provider immediately.
  
• Carefully review receipts for voided transactions and be sure they do not post to your account.
  
• Destroy your carbons. Do not leave them behind without tearing them up.
  
• Don't leave your purse, wallet, cards or receipts unattended. Always keep them secure or in your sight.
  
• Only carry cards that you need, leaving others in a safe place at home.
  
• Don't give out your account number unless you know and trust the company.
