This season, to enhance the experience, Evertec, a leader in technology and transaction processing, recommends the following 4 practical tips for online shopping:
Only buy only
from trusted websites:
Verify that the website you’re using to buy items is secure. Look for a lock icon next to the URL, which indicates that the site is trustworthy.
Keep
devices secure:
Always use your own devices to make online purchases and try to avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for this type of activity.
Use virtual cards
for online shopping:
Many banks offer temporary virtual cards for online purchases. These cards are only valid for a short period and help protect your main account from potential fraud.
Provide only necessary
personal information:
If you’re asked for unusual personal details (such as your cell phone number, names of family members, place of birth, etc.) to make a purchase, don’t provide them and check if you’re on the correct site.
By following these recommendations, users can minimize the risks of fraud. The combination of advanced technology in payment platforms, along with personal responsibility, can ensure a satisfying shopping experience.
