I lost my bank debit card.can somebody else use?

Question

can somebody buy things on your bank card even if it doesnt belong to them & they dont know your pin number?

Answer 1

Yes, you should call your bank immediately. Have your card cancel and get a new one.

Anyone can just used your debit card.

Moreover, nowadays, nobody look at the front side of the card or bother to verify signature. Don't wait, it is too risky

Answer 2

Notify your bank immediately...........No, a person cannot use your card without the pin number.   Sometimes they get lucky and guess it.

Don't take any chances, call your bank.

Answer 3

Is it one of those bank cards that can be used like a credit card (did it have a Mastercard or Visa symbol on it) - if so - quick call the bank - someone can definitely go shopping on your tab.  If it is just an ATM/Debit card then no, they would need the PIN.

Answer 4

I  recently had  that  happen with Bank America visa debit  card.  They were  able to use at  a  gas  staion  that just allows  sign for it.  They tried use it at  ATM  and on line to buy over  200 something but  was stopped by  bank fraud alert that Bank America  has  when unusual activity happens.  I had  not even missed it and it  was being  watched all ready.  I got the gas  monet  back $40   after filling  out  forms.   *mamatx

Answer 6

call your bank

Answer 7

Yes, and it can take weeks before your bank will refund the money, so you need to call your bank immediately. Go to their web site and find the number for lost or stolen cards, you can call 24/7.  You will need to close the account and open a new one, for the optimum level of security. Also, if your savings is linked up with your checking account, close it as well and reopen a new account.
