How we Protect You

Keeping your personal and financial information safe is a full time job. Read all about the steps we take to safeguard your information and your account.

Protecting you from fraud

To keep our customers safe and secure, we utilise some of the best processes and technology available. Here are a few of the ways we keep you safe and secure.

Protection from unauthorised transactions

You will not be liable for unauthorised transactions on your account, if you have not contributed to the loss and have notified us promptly of the theft, loss or misuse of your card/account. You also need to abide by the Conditions of Use (COU) of your account.

Immediate fraud contact systems

If we detect a possible fraudulent transaction on your account, we may confirm the transaction with you by SMS or phone, giving you an added level of security against fraudulent transactions.

Online Fraud Protection for your Credit Cards

Latitude utilises an additional layer of security on all our Mastercard and VISA products that verifies your online purchases in real time. This verification helps to reduce credit card fraud and unauthorised credit card use.

Protection against ID theft

All customer applications are screened for potential ID theft. We will proactively contact you in the event we suspect fraud has taken place using your personal details.

Online Account Security

Mobile App Security

  • Our mobile app enables you to use Face ID or fingerprint to login for an extra layer of security.
  • We may ask you for further verification when you perform certain activities such as entering a SMS code.
  • We keep our mobile app security up to date. Turn on automatic updates to make sure you always have the latest version available.

Latitude Service Centre Security

  • We'll automatically log you out of your account if there's been no activity for a certain period of time. It's designed to protect your information and identity.
  • When registering your account or completing specific actions, we send a verification SMS to the mobile number associated with your account.
  • We ask you to set up a secure login by creating a username, password, and security questions and answers in case you need to reset your password.
  • After several unsuccessful login attempts, we'll temporarily suspend or lock your online account.
