Tips for Securing Your Sharesies Spend Account and Card in NZ

Ensuring the Security of Your Sharesies Spend Account

Keeping your Sharesies Spend account and card secure is paramount to protect your funds and personal information. While Sharesies employs robust security measures, your active participation in security practices is crucial for users in New Zealand.

Here are key tips to enhance the security of your account and card:

• Strong, Unique Passwords: Use a complex password for your Sharesies account that you don't use anywhere else. Consider a password manager.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA on your Sharesies account for an extra layer of security. This usually requires a code from your phone in addition to your password.
• Protect Your Card Details: Never share your full card number, expiry date, or CVV (the three-digit code on the back) with anyone. Be cautious when using your card online, only on secure websites.
• Monitor Transactions Regularly: Frequently check your Sharesies Spend account activity for any suspicious or unauthorised transactions. Report anything unusual immediately.
• Report Lost or Stolen Cards Promptly: If your physical card is lost or stolen, or you suspect unauthorized use of your digital card, immediately freeze or block it through the Sharesies app and contact Sharesies support.
• Beware of Phishing and Scams: Be skeptical of emails, texts, or calls purporting to be from Sharesies asking for personal details or urging you to click suspicious links. Always go directly to the official Sharesies website (sharesies.com/r/P6DFSQ) or app.
• Keep Software Updated: Ensure your device's operating system, web browser, and Sharesies app are always up to date to benefit from the latest security patches.

By following these practices, you can significantly reduce the risk of fraud and keep your Sharesies Spend experience safe and secure in New Zealand.
