Visa Europe - what to do with Fraudulent emails

Fraudulent emails

If you receive an e-mail claiming to come from your bank, or any other bank, requesting personal information, do not provide the details – it could be fraudulent. Instead, contact your bank to determine whether or not the e-mail was from them.

Please be aware that Visa never contacts cardholders directly by phone or e-mail requesting personal information relating to your Visa card. For further information, please visit our Fraudulent emails and websites page.
