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.
