Safety is at the heart of Mastercard’s story

We know that safety and security are top priorities for our customers, cardholders, merchants and other partners. That’s why we continue to develop new and better ways to keep payments safe. As technology advances, devices change and payment methods adapt, we continually innovate to ensure the safety of billions of electronic payments wherever and whenever they occur. Our goal is to build a World Beyond Cash™ where every person, every payment and every device is protected.

Security benefits that come with your card

Zero Liability protection 

Have added peace of mind in knowing that the bank or credit union that issued your Mastercard won't hold you responsible for unauthorized transactions. Zero Liability applies to transactions made in-store, over the telephone or online. Certain terms, conditions and exclusions apply.

Mastercard chip technology

Enjoy the added security of chip technology close to home and abroad. Chip cards have a microchip embedded in the card that provides increased protection against fraud using proven technology that is already in use around the world.
