Çfarë do të thotë "Contactless"?
Contactless is the latest technology feature incorporated in Credit Cards of Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Albania.

These payments usually do not need to enter the PIN code and its maximum limit is ALL 2,000 or two transactions. When the limit is reached (value or number of transactions) you should make a successful transaction using PIN code to enable other Contactless transactions.
Contactless transactions are now accepted everywhere displaying both Mastercard logo and contactless symbol at the payment terminal. Except for abroad, contactless transactions are also possible in many POS terminals of Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Albania and other local banks.
DO
- Carry only those cards you need. Keep them separate from your wallet, in a zippered compartment or business card holder.
- Keep records of the phone numbers and address of the Bank so you can quickly report the loss of your card or fraudulent transactions.
- Keep an eye on your card during transactions, and get it back as quickly as possible. This reduces the risk of your card or card number being copied without your knowledge.
- Void incorrect receipts and destroy all copies or carbons of receipts so that they do not fall into the wrong hands.
- Shred or cut up old cards cutting through the card number/chip before disposing.
- Check the activity in each of your financial accounts regularly. Report any questionable charges immediately by calling the Bank.
- Notify the Bank in advance of a change in address or personal details
- Make sure you’re using a secure site when making payments over the Internet. Look for a lock icon in the status bar of your web browser; this icon indicates that a site is employing an encryption technology when transmitting sensitive data.
DON’T
- Don’t leave your cards unattended at work. There are more payment card thefts in the workplace than in any other single location.
- Don’t leave your payment cards in your vehicle. A very high proportion of payment cards are stolen from motor vehicles.
- Don’t lend your cards to anyone.
- Never sign a blank receipt. When you sign a receipt, draw a line through any blank spaces above the total.
- Don’t write your card number or PIN on a postcard or on the outside of an envelope.
- Don’t give out your card number over the phone unless you’re calling a company you know is reputable or you have initiated the contact.
- Don’t carry your PIN in your wallet or purse or write it on your card.
