Where earlier you would have gone to the bank to withdraw money, similarly now you will be going to the ATM machine. But there is a huge difference between these two things. Actually, you do not have to go at any particular time to withdraw money from the ATM. Rather, you can withdraw money from the ATM with the help of a debit card whenever you want. Not only this, you can also make payment by tapping or swiping through this card, that is, you do not need cash all the time. In the midst of all this, it is often seen that many people's ATM cards are lost or stolen. In such a situation, it is said that get them blocked and get a new card made, but do you know why this is necessary? Probably not, so let's know about this. You can know about this in the next slides...
What to do if the card is stolen or lost?
If your ATM card is stolen or lost, then first of all you should get it blocked. If you do not do this, then your card can be misused. Therefore, you should call customer care and get your card blocked.
If your debit or credit card is stolen, then you can also get it blocked through your net banking.
For this, you have to open your banking app and go to the card.
Here you get the option of block or temporary block, by clicking on which you can block your card.
This is how you can get a new ATM card.
If you have blocked your old card and now want to apply for a new card, then for this you can apply by going to the nearest branch of your bank.
If you want, you can also apply for a new ATM card by talking to your net banking or your customer care.
Why is it necessary to get a new card?
If your debit or credit card is also lost or stolen somewhere, then after getting it blocked, you should get a new one made. This has two benefits. First, your work does not get stuck and you can use the card whenever you need it. The second advantage is that it becomes clear to the bank that your first card has been lost or stolen and hence you have got a new card made.
