How do I deal with unauthorized transactions?

Unauthorized Transactions

Updated over a month ago

Overview

If you see a charge in your Kashu account that you did not make, it may be the result of fraud, account misuse, or card issuer error. Unauthorized transactions must be addressed immediately to protect your account and comply with banking and card network rules.

Kashu provides fraud protection through our Fraud Shield system, but you also play a critical role in keeping your account secure.


Step-by-Step: Responding to Unauthorized Transactions

  1. Stop further activity

    • Do not attempt additional transactions until the issue is reviewed.

  2. Check your account activity

    • Log in to your Kashu Wallet and confirm the transaction details (date, amount, merchant).

  3. Secure your account

    • Immediately change your Kashu password and PIN.

    • Enable biometric login or two-factor authentication if not already active.

  4. Contact your bank or card issuer

    • Call the number on the back of your card to alert them.

    • Issuers may freeze or replace your card to prevent additional unauthorized charges.

  5. Report to Kashu Support

    • Email [email protected] with:

      • Your registered email address

      • Transaction date, amount, and description

      • Any error messages or alerts received

    • Kashu will investigate and coordinate with our banking and card network partners.

  6. Monitor for updates

    • Keep checking your Kashu Wallet and bank statements.

    • Kashu Support will update you on next steps, which may include dispute filings or account restrictions to prevent further misuse.
