Your SmartCard is like having money in your wallet. Treat it like cash and keep it safe.

To help keep your SmartCard safe, follow these tips:

  • don't give, lend or share your SmartCard with anyone
  • never let anyone know your password or PIN
  • don't add your SmartCard to your digital wallet if you share a mobile phone.
