The Trade Republic card comes with a range of features to help keep your money safe:
- The card number, expiry date and CVV are not printed on our physical cards to increase security and minimise the risk of unauthorised access in the event of loss or theft.
- You have control over your card's security settings, so you can disable payment methods that you don't want to use frequently or at all.
- You can freeze your card immediately if you suspect unauthorised use, or if it is lost or stolen.
- For online purchases, we require authentication via the app so that only you can authorise transactions.
- You receive a push notification for every card transaction, including declined transactions, so you can immediately recognise any unexpected card use.
- We review each transaction in real time and if something looks suspicious, we will decline the transaction, lock your card and ask you to review the transaction in the app.
You also play an important role in keeping your card and account secure, so make sure:
- You familiarise yourself with the security settings available to you in the app.
- You do not share your card details and PIN with anyone. Trade Republic will never ask you for your PIN, your long card number or your CVV code. Always keep these details secret, even from us.
- You buy from merchants you trust, especially online. If something appears unusual or a deal seems too good to be true, assess the potential risks.
