Stay Secure – Safer Payment Habits for Everyday Transactions

New Delhi, June 2026: The way customers shop, spend, and make payments is evolving rapidly. Today, digital transactions are no longer limited to a single channel or moment – customers are increasingly making transactions across retail and e-commerce platforms, booking travel, paying bills, or managing everyday expenses. At the same time, the growing digital footprint has created new opportunities for fraudsters to target unsuspecting users through increasingly sophisticated methods.
According to the RBI Annual Report 2025–26, card and internet fraud accounted for nearly 74% of all reported fraud cases, making them among the most commonly reported forms of financial fraud in the country. These incidents can cause financial loss, inconvenience, and emotional distress.
The increasing frequency of these incidents highlights the importance of awareness and safe digital financial practices. Customer centric financial organisations like SBI Card continue to invest in advanced technology, enhanced security capabilities, 24*7 Live Chat support, and customer awareness across the ecosystem, to enhance customer protection and experience.
