SAFETY NOTES
Informed and alert consumers help defend against payment fraud. Access Bank and its partner card schemes (Interswitch, Visa, Valucard) will never send an email requesting confidential information, such as account numbers, passwords, PIN numbers, credit card numbers or social security numbers.
 
Protect yourself from fraudulent e-mails (phishing) that claim to belong to a credit card company, bank website or any other website to that effect. Delete email or SMS requesting this type of personal information. If you suspect that you have provided confidential information to a website or fraudulent individual, please contact the customer service number on the back of your card or on your account statement.

You can report fraud by email claiming to belong to any of our partner card schemes by forwarding the suspicious message to:
contactcenter.moz@accessbankplc.com
