What should I do if I lose my debit card?

If a person loses their debit card, the first and most important step is to report the loss to Desjardins as soon as possible. This action helps prevent unauthorized transactions and protects the customer's account. In general, customers can access their online banking or mobile app to temporarily lock their card, which adds an extra layer of security until the card can be found or replaced. Next, it is recommended to review recent transaction history to catch any unauthorized charges. If any suspicious activity is observed, it is essential to report it immediately. Typically, individuals can request a replacement card through their online banking account or by visiting a local branch. Desjardins usually provides information about the replacement process on their website, including potential timelines for receiving a new card. Finally, ensure that personal identification information such as addresses or contact details is up to date in the account settings to facilitate smooth communication. More specific guidance and contact information can be found on the official Desjardins website.
