1. How can I protect my Recognition Card from fraud and misuse?
To avoid your card and account falling into the wrong hands, you should sign the back of it as soon as you receive it. If you have been accepted for a Recognition MasterCard you also need to activate your card. Please memorise and destroy your PIN as soon as your receive it and never write it down, or give it to another person. If you change your PIN, make sure you choose it carefully. Never give your card or account number to anyone else and don’t be visible when entering your PIN at a Chip and PIN terminal.
