10 Drawbacks of Using an International Credit Card
Summary:
Credit card fraud is on the rise globally. International credit card holders are particularly vulnerable. Let’s delve into some of the challenges they face.
1. Reused Credit Card Numbers:
Once a credit card is canceled, some companies might reassign the same number to another customer. Although the PIN and personal details change, the credit card number remains the same.
2. Merchant Security Issues:
Many merchants maintain low security standards. Employees often have access to sensitive information like account and security numbers.
3. Incomplete Account Statements:
Credit card statements often lack detailed information about the merchants involved, leaving consumers in the dark about specific transactions.
4. Delayed Blocking:
If a card is reported lost or stolen, it can still take months for the card to be completely blocked, allowing unauthorized transactions to continue.
5. Weak Validation Software:
Merchants often use inadequate validation software, increasing the risk of unauthorized access.
6. Consumer-Unfriendly Fraud Policies:
Current fraud management policies often place undue responsibility on cardholders, prioritizing company protection over consumer security.
7. Slow Fraud Investigations:
The process of investigating fraudulent transactions is often sluggish, leaving victims in a frustrating position while waiting for justice.
8. Online Transaction Vulnerability:
Fraud is commonly committed through online transactions, where cardholders lack adequate protection for both authorized and unauthorized use.
9. Unverified Transactions by Certain Companies:
Industries like pornography often process transactions without verifying the cardholder’s information, increasing the risk of fraud.
10. Incompatibility with Bank Systems:
Some international credit card companies are incompatible with various banking systems, particularly in e-commerce, potentially leading to client loss. This issue is often kept under wraps.
These challenges underscore the need for improved security measures and more consumer-centered policies for international credit cards.
