The safest thing to do next time is to block the stolen card completely. It is both careless and unwise not to do so. For instance there are actually a lot of sites where you can shop with your card successfully without token. Let's take these little safety measures serious.
I'm sorry I don't believe that, if it's true list some of those websites let confirm because truth be told I don't believe that it possible

I may be entirely wrong.
But why do I have this feeling that this post is just a fishing expedition for information about loopholes in various systems.
Sometimes the knowledge and experiences shared in some conversations will end up hurting more people than intended.
Its a double edged sword.
The best way to respond will be to omit specific brand names and institutions and just be generic with information.

It was used to shop online, cards have Security and Date of birth on them. Once you input, shopping is successful. Don’t even blame the bank because it’s simply your fault. You should have reported to the bank on behalf of your brother.
List some of those websites if it's true

Such reversal has never happened in any bank. Ask. He made it even worse for not reporting early or at all. That cash is gone. Very painful dear
Desammyst:

Hmm... This is another angle. I will ask him if he used his email address when filling out the form.
But is there a way the money can be retrieved?

Good day, everyone. I lost my brother's Polaris bank ATM Card last month. He didn't bother to go and block it in the bank, and went for his military service in Borno state.

He came back this month and this afternoon, he received debit alerts on his phone, as a result of the lost ATM card. When I came home this evening and he showed me the alerts, I discovered that prior to the debit alert, he had received message requesting for OTP five times. I was dumbfounded and till now I can't grasp how it happened.

Does it mean someone's money can be wiped off without OTP?

What happens to bank security? Because if someone doesn't send OTP, isn't the person safe.

Is there anyway the funds can be retrieved.
Please, help a brother. My family is pained embarassed cry
They might check his year of birth on Facebook and used it to guess his pin. It could be used to shop online without otp. Etc

OP According to your statement, your brother lost his ATM when he was at home, and the unauthorized transaction occured when he came back home. The perpetrator ofthis act is likely within.

Most likely scenario. Someone very close had access to that phone and retrieved the otp to complete the transactions, which explains why there was no transaction while he was far away on duty. Someone who knows the atm card pin

it's not all online payment platforms that require OTP. Infact, most don't especially international and some local merchants. All they require is your card no, expiry date and 3 digit security code at the back. it's only the popular ones like the local Quickteller, Remita and a few others that require OTP.

International online payment platforms like the ones used by Alli Express and WordPress does not require OTP. Just your debit card details

Fraud can be carried out on your account through your debit card once you compromise your details which may not include your PIN.

My advice is to have an account that is not linked to online Banking and ATM card strictly for savings.

If you must use online banking, ensure you go to your bank and make sure you are guided through the onboarding process from start to finish, including transfer limit enhancement.

Never disclose sensitive details like PIN, C-V-V, card PAN numbers, OTP, your BVN, phone number or account number to anyone, physically over the phone or chat's etc. Only shop from credible websites. If possible link and pay with your cards through Google pay or PayPal.

For the debit cards, keep your card safe, if you have no business shopping online, I'll advice you to wipe out the C-V-V numbers behind your card and some PAN numbers in front of the card. Note this will give you protection against fraudsters that copy card details only.

If you really want to be safe while using your card, get debit cards from bank's that give you options of blocking and unblocking your card like UNION BANK and others. That way you only unblock your card from your mobile app when you want to withdraw or do online shopping after which you block your card. Note, this feature is different from destroying the card. It's like an on and of switch for card security.

Finally pray that people close to you or people you trust don't sabotage your finances cos that's the highest number of culprits responsible for these crime's. Husbands, wives, sons, daughters, house helps, relations boyfriends and girlfriends etc. Na dem ohh.

Please be safe out there. Oluwa go protect us as we dey try protect ourselves.

Peace.

Very true! Most people use their date of birth as their PIN code, making it easy for the ATM card thieves to access their account. With the ATM card in their custody for that lengthy period of time, all they need do is try it on an ATM machine twice everyday without the machine seizing it. And it won't take long for them to access his account. People should avoid using their DOB as ATM PIN code! Random numbers that can be remembered easily should suffice in this case.

There are actually some sites that dont bother with OTP, like netflix just put your card details and voila you have paid, they dont send otp to the person.

I have done some transactions in some foreign site that dont require OTP.
So if your atm get lost or stolen, call the bank to block it because if you dont your money is gone

when I subscribe to Netflix, I didn't put my Atm pin, just the details in the card.

At first I was expecting an otp to be sent to my phone but I didn't see anything, I even thought it didn't work until I saw an alert.

Some foreign sites dont require OTP or your atm pin, it's scary

You lost your brother card since last month and he didn't block the card.

Bros your intelligent is more than that of that guy
He refused to block or do anything about the ATM card when it was missing yet got gut to come Nairaland and complain of money been wipe.

Foreign e-commerce don't need otp just that number back and front and they can use your card to buy hosting and domain names,shop online etc. Even mere swiping of the cards in some powerful POS you money don move.
