Centtrip are committed to keeping your money safe and have a range of systems in place to help us detect and prevent fraud before it happens. However, fraudsters are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Please take a few extra precautions to keep your funds safe.

Protect Sensitive Information

PLEASE NEVER SHARE SENSITIVE INFORMATION OR SECURITY CODES.

Centtrip will NEVER ask you to -

Share personal, account or card details - by phone, email, SMS, chat, or by entering information into your phone.

Provide your 16 digit Centtrip card number. This number should only be used when making a purchase yourself.

Provide (or key-in) Centtrip security or verification codes sent to you by email, SMS or generated in the app.

Transfer money to another account which is not in your name.

Please be vigilant - fraudsters continually seek new ways to trick you into revealing sensitive information. If ever in doubt -

Ignore the message or end the call immediately.

Contact Centtrip directly using the details on our website, or speak to your Account Manager.

Follow These Practical Steps

For Cardholders -

Treat cards like cash - keep cards safe from theft or loss. Never write down or share PINs, passwords, or card details. Do not photograph your card.

Lock cards when not in use - instantly lock cards via the app or desktop to block payments or withdrawals. Unlock them when needed.

Monitor card activity - check your transactions regularly. Lock your card and contact Centtrip immediately if you notice anything unusual.

Withdraw cash safely - use reputable ATMs. Find nearby chip-enabled ATMs with the Mastercard ATM locator. Always shield your PIN.

Block lost or stolen cards - immediately block any lost or stolen cards via the app, web, or phone. Report the loss so we can send a replacement.

For Administrators -

Transfer card funds as required - keep balances appropriate to expected spend — avoid holding excess funds. You can load card funds instantly, 24/7

Set transaction alerts - receive instant notifications for high-value or unusual spend by setting an alert

Monitor transactions - regularly check account and card activity to identify and act on anything suspicious.

Set sensible user limits - Super Administrators can tailor limits and permissions for each admin user. Always ensure user roles and limits are appropriate to their responsibilities. -

Implement payment approvals - set payment approvals for all users to ensure oversight before any funds are released.

Review & update user access - routinely audit user access and remove access for those who have left the organisation.

Set strong passwords - use unique, complex passwords and change them regularly. Never share login credentials.

Avoid public Wi-Fi for access - do not access the Centtrip app or platform using non-secure public Wi-Fi networks, such as those in cafés, trains, or co-working spaces. While there is no known vulnerability in Centtrip systems, this is good general security practice.

Secure your email account - if you receive login or verification codes via email, make sure your email account is protected with a strong, unique password. (Super Admins can also disable email as a verification option).
