If you’ve ever been in a situation where your GTBank ATM card was stolen, lost, or misplaced. It is safe to deactivate your card in these situations. Taking this approach will help to prevent unauthorized card transactions on your account.
Before now, in situations like this, the first step was to call your bank’s customer care line. However, asking customer care to block your card may take longer than you being able to do this yourself. That is why most banks now have various ways to immediately block your card once you can’t find it. This ensures that your money is protected and that no one can access your account using the lost card.
Fortunately, GTBank has offered a few card hotlist choices for situations like these. As a result, you no longer need to contact customer service or visit a GTBank office. This post will show you five ways to hotlist your GTBank ATM card when necessary.
