Transactions made outside Pakistan will be converted from the transaction currency to US Dollars, based on international exchange rate prevailing on that date (Currency Conversion rate is a rate selected by MasterCard Worldwide from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable processing date, which may vary from the rate MasterCard Worldwide itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable processing date in each instance, plus or minus any adjustment determined by the issuer).

A. Following are different scenarios to levy service charges on the monthly bill statement.

Cash Advance / BTF: Bank Alfalah cardholders can avail Cash Advance Facility up to 50% of their credit limit. Bank Alfalah also offers an easy and convenient way to settle their payments on all their existing credit cards by Balance Transfer Facility (BTF). The service charges on above two facilities are taken from the date of transactions either customer is Transactor (explained below) or Revolver (explained below).

Example: If a customer avails cash advance or BTF of Rs.10,000 on 01-1-2008 and pays whole Rs.10,000 on 06-1-2008. He /she will also be charged with 5 days service charges on Rs.10,000. In case of partial payment, please see the details in heading Revolver.

Transactor: Transactions other than cash advance / BTF and fees are called retail transactions. Transactor is the cardholder who pays off all his/her liabilities (mentioned in monthly statement) within due date, and no service charges are levied on such account.

Example: If a cardholder shops for Rs.10,000 in a month and within due date pays whole Rs.10,000 so being Transactor no service charges will be imposed at all, provided that there is no BTF and cash transactions / Call & Pay.

Revolver: Revolver is the cardholder who does not make full payment at due date or even makes partial or minimum payment. For first time revolver, service charges will be charged on all transactions appearing in current statement and previous month statement from date of transactions. For second time revolver, service charges will be levied on carry forwarded balance from billing cycle date and on all transactions from transactions dates appearing in the statement. Any SBS installment will be treated as retail transaction and service charges will be levied.

Example: If a cardholder shops for Rs.10,000 in a month and at his/her due date pays Rs.5,000 , first Bank will charge him/her on 10,000 till the date of partial payment i.e Rs.5,000. And from the date of partial payment onward, charges will be on remaining Rs. 5,000.

Please follow these guidelines for your as you enjoy the convenience of technology. However these guidelines are general; therefore, specific precautions may be taken as warranted by the situation and technology.

1) Do not use a number or numbers that can obviously be associated with you - for instance your telephone number, birthday, your street number, driving license number or popular number sequences (such as 786 or 2006 or 1111).

2) Ideally choose a random combination of numbers this is the hardest for a criminal to guess. If this is difficult for you to remember then perhaps use a combination of double numbers e.g.99 along with two others that have some meaning for you.

1) Do not allow anyone else to use your card, PIN or other security information.

2) Always memorize your PIN and other security information. If the PIN you are provided with is difficult to remember, change it to something more memorable at an ATM as soon as possible.

3) Always take reasonable steps to keep your card safe and your PIN secret at all times. Neither your bank nor any agency is authorized to ask you to disclose your PIN.

4) Never write down or record your PIN or other security information on card or at a place easily accessible by others.

Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) provide a fast and convenient banking alternative for account holders. You can bank when you want and where ever you want because locations are so convenient. In order to mitigate risks of theft & frauds, we are providing these ATM safety tips to help protect you and your account.

The following advice for cardholders using cash machines will help minimize the chances of becoming a victim of such incidences.

1) Always observe your surroundings before conducting an ATM transaction. If you see anyone or anything that appears to be suspicious, cancel your transaction and leave the area at once. If there is anything unusual about the cash machine, or there are signs of tampering, do not use the machine and report it to the bank immediately.

3) If possible, choose a machine in a busy area. A heavily trafficked location means additional security.

4) If you are followed after using an ATM, seek a place where people, activity and security can be found.

1) Use your body to block the view of your transaction. Especially as you enter your PIN and take your cash. If necessary, ask a person to leave, even if that person is just curious. If the ATM is in use, give the person using the machine the same privacy you expect. Allow them to move away from the ATM before you approach the machine.

4) While paying the utility bills on ATM, check the transactions details with the billed amount, customer ID on original bill. Keep the transaction slip safe so that it can be referred to if the paid amount appears as arrears in next billing cycle.

5) Focus your attention on ATM screen and take due care in the selection of buttons (touch the parallel area in case the screen is sensor one) to ensure the execution of desired transaction/funds transfer. Before pressing/touching the keyboard button enter the required information cautiously. If you pressed/touched the wrong button then transaction reversal is not possible.

2) Once you have completed a transaction, discreetly put your money and card in your pocket before leaving the cash machine. Do not count cash at ATM machine.

3) If the cash machine does not return your card, report its loss immediately to your bank.

4) Don't discard your receipts and mini-statements or balance inquiry slips which contain important information. You get a receipt every time you make an ATM transaction.

5) Tear up or preferably shred your cash machine receipt, mini-statement or balance enquiry when you dispose them of.

1) Banks usually watch the cards transactions at point of sale (POS), to sort out if there are any unusual transactions, for the safety of customers and risk aversion. In such circumstances you may be contacted by your bank for authentication and confirmation of transactions. You are required to confirm your genuine transactions but do not disclose your PIN, Password etc. Such vigilance at both ends will bring synergy in the security of e-banking.

1) Please beware of possible internet frauds, persuasive and attractive traps of hackers.

2) Keep software updated (operating system and browsers) because fraudsters and malicious hackers are very clever and have found vulnerabilities in sofwares (Windows and browsers). Please ensure that operating and browser softwares are kept up-to-date using legitimate upgrades and patches issued by the legitimate software vendors.

3) Make sure your computer has up-to-date anti-virus software and a firewall installed. Firewalls can monitor both incoming and outgoing internet traffic and anti-virus will protect your computer against Trojan and worm attacks.

4) Make sure your browser is set to the highest level of security notification and monitoring. The safety options are not always activated by default when you install your softwares on your computer.

5) Two of the most popular browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. Check that you are using a recent version - you can usually download the latest version from these browsers' websites.

6) Only shop at secure websites - ensure that the security icon, the locked padlock or unbroken key symbol, is appearing in the bottom right of your browser window before sending your card details.

7) The beginning of the retailer's Internet address will change from 'http' to 'https' when a purchase is made using a secure connection.

8) Use sites you can trust, for example sites you know or that have been recommended to you or that carry the Trust logo.

9) Click on the security icon to ensure that the retailer has a valid encryption certificate - the address on this certificate should conform to the address on the address bar. The certificate should ensure the identity of the website and the current day's date should be within the validity dates of the certificate.

10) Keep your personal information safe – always be wary of e-mails asking you to click on a link or confirm your details. Reputable retailers, banks etc. would never ask you to disclose or confirm sensitive personal or security information, including your PIN. If in doubt, phone the organization first.

11) Avoid signing up for junk mail – this may result in pre-filled application forms being sent to an address long after you’ve moved out.

12) Print out your order and keep copies of the retailer's terms and conditions, returns policy, delivery conditions, postal address (not a post office box) and phone number (not a mobile number). There may be additional charges such as local taxes and postage, particularly if you are purchasing from abroad. When buying from overseas remember that it may be difficult to seek redress if problems arise, but having all the aforementioned information will help us take up your case if you subsequently have any difficulties.

13) Ensure you are fully aware of any payment commitments you are entering into, whether you are instructing a single payment or a series of payments.

14) In case you pay your utility bills using virtual banking facility, ensure that user name, customer ID, amount billed are exactly the same as in the bill sent to you by your company. The transaction receipt may be saved on the hard disk and may be printed as well. It can be referred to in case of mismatch with the internet transaction history or the already paid bill may reappear in next billing cycle.

15) If you have any doubts about giving your card details, find another method of payment.

16) If you regularly make transactions over the Internet consider opening a separate credit card account specifically for these transactions.

17) Keep your passwords secret. Some online stores may require you to register with them via user name and password before buying. Online passwords should be kept secret from outside parties the same way you protect your Card PIN. Keep the login information safe and secret.

18) Never send payment information via email. Information that travels over the Internet (such as email) is not fully protected from being read by outside parties. The most reputable merchant sites use encryption technologies that will protect your private data from being accessed by others as you conduct an online transaction.

19) Never click on Hyperlinks within e-mails. If you are sure that the company is genuine then directly type in the URL in the internet browser address bar, or call the company on a contact number previously verified or known to be genuine.

20) Don’t let websites or merchants store your card information. The exchange of encrypted transactions will be better than to allow the storage of identity information on data bases.

1) Ensure receiving of statement from your bank regularly. In case you do not receive statement within 7 days of your statement date, contact your bank for a copy of the bank statement.

2) It is recommended that mini-statements are regularly produced for reconciling transactions.

3) Reconcile your transactions regularly with statements (Bank Statement or Mini-Statement).

1) Fraudulent email may bear the authentic trademarks, logos, graphics and URLs of the spoofed company.

2) The HTML tags behind the link will reveal that the underlying URL usually does not link to a page within the authentic domain.

3) The email requests confidential or personal information (such as PIN, four digit number, account number etc).

4) It may request immediate action to keep accounts or cards activated so as to use it for some fraudulent purposes.

5) The linked web site may not provide secure and authenticated communication (i.e. it does not show the closed padlock at the bottom of the web browser).

4) Does email from this sender with the contents describe in the subject line and the name of the attachment makes sense?

1) Shield your card properly and follow basic principles of card storage. Cards are sensitive to mechanical, electromagnetic, sun impacts and can be pictured using cameras if left in plain view.

2) Avoid to submit personal details for lucky draws even if these are from reputed organizations. Normally the organizations do not accept responsibility in case of theft of personal information which may cause loss to the card holder.

3) Be wary of responding to e-mails requesting information. If in doubt, ask for proof of identity or undertake your own checks. Never disclose your PIN to anyone.

6) In case of multiple cards make a list of all your cards and their helpline numbers and keep it in a safe and secured place.

7) With credit and debit cards easily at hand, try not to keep large amounts of cash at home. Your financial institution is a lot safer.

8) Cancel any unwanted or expired cards by contacting the card-issuer and cutting up the unwanted or expired card in at least two pieces.

9) If you move house make sure you contact your bank and all other organizations to give them your change of address.

10) Generally cardholders are not liable for losses resulting from circumstances beyond their control. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to:

b) Unauthorized use of a card and PIN where the issuer is responsible for preventing such use, for example after the card has been reported lost or stolen, the card is cancelled or expired or the cardholder has reported that the PIN may be known to someone other than the cardholder.

1) Make a note of your card issuers’ emergency contact numbers and keep the information somewhere other than your purse or wallet.

2) Be careful at airports and other terminals during checking times. Ensure the safety of your cards and other important documents.

1) Don't give your card number over phone to cold callers. Only make telephone transactions when you have made the call and are familiar with the company. Be particularly cautious if you are cold-called by someone claiming to be from a bank or any authorized agency etc.

2) Have the card in front of you. You may be asked for information including the card number, expiry date, the four-digit card security code on the signature strip (not your PIN code), issue number where applicable, and your name as it appears on your card.

3) If you feel pressured by a telemarketing salesperson, be suspicious. Never give out your account number unless you've decided to make a purchase.

4) Do not volunteer any personal information when you use your credit/debit card, other than your ID document, which may be requested.

5) If the retailer sends you written confirmation of the order, check the bill to ensure that it is correct. Keep any such receipts and check them off against your next statement.

6) If you find any transactions on your statement that you are certain you did not make, contact your bank immediately. You may be asked to sign a disclaimer, confirming that you did not undertake the transaction.

If you discover that your card has been lost or stolen or that you have been the victim of a fraud, you should inform us immediately. But if the cardholder is shown to have acted fraudulently or without reasonable care, for example, by keeping their PIN written down with their card, they would have to meet all the losses.

3) Your credit card statement includes charges for items you have not purchased or ordered.

4) A debt collection agency contacts you about goods you have not ordered or an account you have never opened.

5) You receive a telephone call or letter saying you have been approved or denied credit for accounts you know nothing about.
