Default Be careful, with your debit card

Tim
"My wife is ditching her debit card. It's been "compromised " three times this year. She has several automatic payments coming out of her account monthly, and has to contact her accounts and switch stuff over and has had to do this several times.

I won't have a debit card."


The new debit card has the symbol for radio waves on it.
I told the bank clerk I didn't want anything to do with that 'Tap and Pay' feature.
She disabled it and I asked her to do the same for my credit cards.
She said I had to call the number on the back of the credit cards to have it done.
I've been uncomfortable with this easily hacked feature and unhappy that it is automatically included with the magnetic stripe and 'chip'.
