How do I report a lost or stolen credit card?

Asked a year ago
If your credit card is lost or stolen, you should immediately contact your credit card issuer to report the incident and have the card deactivated. Most credit card companies have a toll-free number for reporting lost or stolen cards available 24/7. It's important to act quickly to prevent any unauthorized charges on your account. Be prepared to provide your account information and details about when and where the card went missing. Your credit card issuer will assist you in cancelling the card and potentially issuing a replacement card. Keep track of any communications and follow any additional steps provided by the issuer to protect your account.
