- It is not recommended to tell other people the secret code from the card, as well as write it in a conspicuous place or store it in your wallet.
- If the client has changed the number of his personal mobile phone, it is necessary to notify the bank immediately. In case of loss or theft of the phone, the client must immediately notify the bank about it and block the SIM card.

- It is not recommended to leave the card unattended. According to reviews of Sberbank cards, fraudsters will certainly take advantage of the good time and make a duplicate client card, and then make purchases in virtual space without the knowledge of the card holder. When making expenditure transactions, try not to release the debit card from your hands. POS-terminal in restaurants, shops should bring to you. In an extreme case, the client may be asked to go with a card to make an expenditure transaction to the POS terminal.
