"When making credit card payments through online channels, which offer convenience and speed, whether you're a beginner or an experienced online shopper, it's crucial to prioritize safety. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind: 1) If you're using a public computer, be sure to enable Incognito mode in your browser to help prevent the recording of sensitive credit card information, including credit card digits, passwords, and other important details. 2) KTC credit cardmembers have the option to apply for the Secured e-pay service that provides enhanced security for making online payments for products or services over the internet. It adheres to international safety standards and supports the Visa's Verified by Visa (VbV) system, Mastercard's Mastercard Securecode (MCSC), and JCB's J/Secure systems. It includes a data protection mechanism for two-factor authentication using a code and personal message to further enhance security when making payments for products, as it requires a password and Personal Assurance Message (PAM) for confirmation, exclusive to the credit card owner."

"Members who are activating a KTC credit card for the first time are advised to follow these steps: 1) Sign the back of the new credit card as soon as they receive it (sign your name on the white bar). 2) Download the 'KTC Mobile' application and complete the registration process to use it. This will allow you to check your card spending at any time. If any irregularities are found, you can immediately freeze the card through the app. 3) Avoid disclosing the CVV number on the back of the card. Do not store credit card and CVV digits together, and memorize the credit card's CVV number to prevent unauthorized use by others."
