What will you do when you have your wallet stolen and you need to cancel your credit cards?
As soon as your card is stolen, if it has paywave access, time is of the essence as thieves go to the closest shopping centre and buy everything they can in transactions under $100. If you want to cancel cards first, cancel those with paypass access.
Below are the contact numbers of most credit cards in Australia for when your card is stolen. You will not need to remember the card number, but they will probably ask you verification questions about yourself before cancelling the card. Probably a good idea to bookmark this page, put it on facebook for others and who knows how much money we can save (and for others) if we move fast when our cards are stolen.
