Phone Stolen? Things to Do to Keep Your Banking Details and Online Wallet Safe

Follow these simple but significant steps to protect your bank and other important details.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Block your SIM card to automatically block access to apps that need OTP
  • Immediately deactivating UPI payment is also advised
  • You should report the theft to the police without fail




Block your SIM card

The first and foremost is to ensure the phone number isn't misused if or when you lose the phone. Blocking the SIM card also means blocking every app on the phone that can be accessed via OTPs. You can always get the same number issued on a new SIM card. It may take a while, but your privacy and mobile wallets are far more important

Block access to mobile banking services

They are just a tap away and therefore it's important to block access to these services. Your SIM card and mobile apps go hand-in-hand, for no transfer can happen without an OTP on the registered number, but both need to be blocked as soon as the phone is lost or gets stolen. 



Deactivate UPI payment

A small delay can cost you dearly. Once the access to online banking services is denied, the thief may try to fiddle with another feature, UPI payments, and hence this, too, needs to be taken care of immediately. Deactivate it as soon as possible.

 Block all mobile wallets

They have made lives extremely easy but mobile wallets such as Google pay and Paytm  may well prove to be costly if your phone reaches the wrong hands. Get in touch with the respective app's help desk and ensure no access is granted to anyone until you set up the wallets again on a new device. 

Go to the police, file a report

Once you have taken care of the aforementioned things, it's crucial to report the matter to the authorities. Ask for a copy of FIR, which you can then use as evidence just in case the phone is misused or your money is stolen despite taking all the measures.
