A plastic card is one of the most common attributes of modern life. And it's easy to use and keep your money safe. But there are situations when it is a plastic card that becomes a headache for its owner. This happens when it is blocked.
Instructions
Step 1
Blocking a card is a forced measure and is included in the so-called list of ways to protect a card from illegal transactions. For example, the bank itself asks to block the card if it is lost or if it was stolen. This should help keep the cardholder's funds safe and sound.
Step 2
The card can be blocked in two ways: automatically and independently by the owner. It is automatically blocked if the cardholder entered the wrong PIN code three times at the ATM. Do not worry, because in this situation the card is also automatically unlocked, but at midnight. After that, it can be used as usual.
Step 3
If, for some reason, the owner blocked the card on his own, then it is better to contact the Sberbank branch. There, specialists will unlock it themselves. To do this, you need to write a statement and remember your secret word, which is indicated when processing documents on the card. The disadvantage of this method is that the application for the resumption of the card can be sent "by authority", i.e. by the higher-ranking employees of the bank. But in this case, you should not despair. After all, money can be withdrawn from the account not only with a card, but also at the Sberbank branch itself, having a passport with you.
Step 4
The only thing that can complicate a client's life is a large amount of time spent on restoring the card's work. After all, you need to find a bank branch, wait your turn. But all these inconveniences are more than compensated by the knowledge that blocking the card reliably saved your hard-earned money.
