The online market has hit the offline market in this festive season to a large extent. A lot of offers have taken advantage of the big discounts online. But what is keeping their bank details safe while online? If you do not know how bank details are kept safe. We are telling you the ways in which you can secure online payments.

Use Safe Shopping App:

There are a number of shopping apps that ask for your permission and access sensitive information about your password, net banking password or stored credit card. Therefore, it is good to install only good merchants' online shopping apps.

Codes:

Promotional email, offers, discount codes, coupons are coming in the meantime. Any discount coupon or code should be used carefully. It would be better to use the same coupon, which came directly from the merchant's side. Many times, the buyer considers this kind of discount coupon email to be the correct merchant's email by clicking on the link provided, thereby threatening your financial data to be stolen.

Safe protocols:

The website should have an 'https' protocol instead of 'HTTP' because it is a more secure layer, which keeps all your financial information encrypted and encrypted from the same time as long as you enter such information into it and unless the merchant gets it.

Use of virtual keyboard:

Use virtual keyboard to enter passwords or card numbers and CVV numbers, whichever payment medium is being used while shopping online. Many hackers use keyword logging tools to steal the number of online payments. Before using the virtual keyboard, more encrypted level protection is available, which makes it completely secure from hackers and it is almost impossible to steal details.

Use of Virtual Cards:

If you are always shopping online, this time, use the virtual card instead of using your credit or debit card in the festive season. You can easily create a virtual card for your debit and credit card by logging into your net banking account. There is usually no extra fee for the virtual card.
