How to Monitor your Credit Card

Overview

IdentiSafe uses a sophisticated Very Early Warning System to monitor private and public databases for signs of early identity theft and ID Theft Risk.


Credit Card Monitoring

70% of the United States population carries a credit card, with 34% of Americans carrying 3 or more cards. This leads to a total in excess of 1 billion credit cards in the United States.

It’s apparent how essential credit cards are in our daily lives. Because of this, they are the most at risk. We swipe them at gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores, and more. Most of us use our cards at least once per day. This makes credit cards extremely high risk for theft.

You can add up to 10 credit cards if you would like to monitor multiple cards at once.
