Question Of The Week
Debit Card Vs Net Banking
Which is Safer?
Well, you should know the answer if you have tried both methods at least once. In Debit Card transactions either the PIN number or VISA/Master password will be asked along with your card details, of course, through a secure gateway.
Net Banking login procedure starts with a virtual keyboard in which syllables are reshuffled everytime. This helps you to escape the viruses which can identify your strokes on the real keyboard. Once you have entered the transaction details, a confirmation SMS along with a numeric password will be sent to your mobile. Only if you enter that password, Net Banking transaction will be completed.
Since the chances of losing your password and your mobile at the same time to the same person are very less, you should know which is safer. Next time you come across an online transaction, (if both options available) don't choose Debit Card over Net Banking just because Debit Card is easy to go!!
