Caution against abuse: Account check after travel: Why receipts are now worth their weight in gold

Euro Kartensysteme is warning consumers to check their credit card statements after returning from vacation to ensure that charges are correct. To facilitate this, it recommends collecting receipts during travel and comparing them to account transactions and credit card statements. Discrepancies may indicate card misuse, and affected individuals should immediately report lost or stolen cards and have them blocked through their bank, the 116 116 emergency hotline, or a mobile app. Unauthorised charges may potentially be reimbursed by the bank or savings bank.
