Ahli Bank Credit Card Misuse

sarinz
By sarinz

My credit card from Ahli Bank was misused online by some one from the US. Two transactions were made one for 20 USD and other for 25 USD at almost the same time. When I approached the bank to investigate the matter, the bank refused to investigate saying how many ever transactions are done illegally,the bank wont investigate, if each of them are less than 25 USD . It seems that the bank is ignoring the fact that their credit card security is poor and on top of that refusing to investigate if the amount is less. I want to know what other Ahli bank credit card holders think of this and any other advice to sort this issue.

Deactivate the current card and get a new one. The new one will have different verification code. Also I used to have one additional password, it is called verified by VISA, or verified by Master card, please check with your bank whether they can enable that for you.

Your card details is exposed,

Change the card.

Its unprofessional to collect or store CC details during a transaction, but some does.

Wrong hands can mis-utilize these details.

So always pay through trusted websites or gateways.

Better to transfer to any other Bank. I will recommend Doha Bank and their Click Card.

'' ....your card details are now exposed and will be used again for sure.''

Apparently, you have your credit card details on file on an untrusted website. Now, two possibilities of how this happened:

1) Either the people who work on the untrusted website have used your card.

2) A hacker (could be anywhere in the world) who was able to download the file which has your credit card record from a poorly protected website.

The only thing you can do now is to cancel your card immediately since your card details are now exposed and will be used again for sure.

In the future, please be safe and never deal with untrusted websites.

I would also choose a bank that really cares, like HSBC.
