There are a lot of people who go abroad during this summer vacation, but I have to worry about credit card management. The damage caused by the theft, the loss, and the forgery or falsification is concentrated in this period.

This is the report of Jang Hoon Kyung.

He was stolen from his credit card during his trip to Paris in April last year.

He picked up the subway ticket and stole his password, and he picked up 2,100 euros for his pickpocket money and withdrew 2,700,000 won for his cash.

[Huyun Sang / Card theft victim: It keeps getting 300 euros every 30 minutes every minute. I was very embarrassed.]

The credit card company refused to pay for the password leakage, but Mr. Huh was able to get a reward after filing a dispute with the Financial Supervisory Service and proving that it was a crime damage.

Overseas illegal use cases received by credit card companies from 2016 to last year were 20,000 in the third quarter, including the summer vacation season, and the amount of damages exceeded 16 billion won.

In the case of illegal use abroad, the compensation standard is more strict than domestic and the compensation period takes longer.

To prevent damage, it is helpful to adjust your usage limits to the required limits before you travel, and to apply for a billing notification text service.

To avoid credit card forgery, you should refrain from using cash dispensers installed in a quiet place.

[Hwang Jin-chul / Director of the Financial Supervisory Service, Dispute Coordination Bureau: Most importantly, when you make a credit card payment overseas, you must check the whole card payment process yourself. You must secure your receipt.]

If you lose your credit card, you should immediately apply for suspension to the credit card company.
