Zero liability protection

Have peace of mind knowing that the financial institution that issued your Mastercard won’t hold you responsible for “unauthorised transactions.” As a Mastercard cardholder, Zero Liability applies to your purchases made in the shop, over the telephone, online or via a mobile device and ATM transactions. As a cardholder, you will not be held responsible for unauthorised transactions if:

1. You have used reasonable care in protecting your card from loss or theft; and
2. You promptly reported loss or theft to your financial institution.

If you believe there has been unauthorised use of your account and you meet the conditions above, rest easy knowing you have the protection of Mastercard’s Zero Liability promise. For additional protections with respect to unauthorised transactions, please contact your bank or credit union. Note: Zero Liability does not apply to the following Mastercard payment cards: certain commercial cards or unregistered prepaid cards, such as gift cards.

If you have questions regarding Zero Liability coverage or you suspect unauthorised use of your card, contact your financial institution IMMEDIATELY.
