so are clients with big claims the type to have a R0/pm bank account for risky transactions lol



assume you have a separate account like TymeBank and their debit card, how would that help you with phishing your banking logins?

if you're talking about getting your CC info leaked, it's usually skimming, which means it'll be your main card being skimmed at the ATM... not your online only debit card, or am I understanding you wrong?

Dude did you even bother to read my previous posts? I'm saying like if you want to buy a tv for e.g. R20k, you transfer 20k to your Tymebank debit card, do the transaction and then there is no more risk cause there is no money left.

That is one way. An even better way is using a virtual credit card like getbarter where it acts as a proper credit card for sites that is finicky about debit cards. You can even freeze the virtual card to avoid fraudulent usage in case there is funds left in it.
And oh, TymeBank also has the freeze functionality for their R0 p/m debit card.

The pakistanis phoning you pretending to be calling from microsoft and getting you to install remote control software like teamviewer / anydesk and other software is one of the oldest tricks. As you may know that is called 'social engineering' and they tend to catch older people that dont know technology properly easier. Anybody younger and that had computer literacy classes at school should deserve to lose their money is they fall for the microsoft thing.

I get that, but that scenario only works if that particular card gets cloned/skimmed...

If you have another card you use for actual daily transacting, higher use = higher risk for THAT card

If you don't have another card for transacting and have all your money in savings, you can just use your normal debit card, and keep the money in a separate savings account

More than likely though, you're going through all this trouble for unrealistic scenarios, most of which your bank's fraud protections will mitigate for you, for little benefit. And if you're saying this is a better option for anyone but the ultra paranoid like old people... well then yikes.

Dude I give up with you. Does not matter what happens to the card whether it is skimming or whatever. If my main bank is fnb and I dont expose my fnb credit card on the net, my risk is WAY LOWER. So I just put enough money into my tymebank card, do the purchase and then there is no money left for them to steal.

Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in years.

Wonder if their SSDs are more reliable than their hard drives ever were.

Damn sold out, 32Gb of Ddr4 Ram for R800 would have been sweet, worth making the leap to a new CPU and MBB to support it.
