Many kids do not know that how they pay with their cards matters when it comes to protecting funds from fraud. For example, swiping the card’s magnetic stripe through a point of sale device exposes the card information to potential skimming devices. Dipping the card into a chip reader or using mobile Tap to Pay doesn’t.
FamZoo has a unique feature that encourages kids to pay more securely. For each transaction (whether successful or not), we show the “card entry mode” on the Transaction Details screen. The entry mode indicates how the payment was made (or attempted in the case of a decline).
