Major Security Considerations While Setting Card Limits

Although you can flexibly adjust cards limits whenever you want, it is important to keep these factors in mind while setting Debit/Credit and Prepaid Card Limits. The key considerations include:

• Only modify your card limits when it is necessary and avoid setting excessively high limits that could pose a risk if your phone or cards gets stolen or lost.
  
  

• Never share your PayZapp credentials since unwanted access to your account could result in unauthorised transactions or your cards may be used to make payments for illegal transactions.
  
  

• Regularly track your transaction history to identify any unusual or unauthorised activity on your PayZapp account. If you find anything unusual you must promptly reach out to our customer care helpline.
