how to deactivate atm card

You can deactivate or block your ATM/debit card immediately through several convenient channels provided by your bank to prevent misuse, especially if it is lost or stolen.

• Log in to your bank's mobile application or internet banking portal, navigate to the 'Card Management' or 'Service Request' section, and select the 'Block Card' option.
• Alternatively, call your bank's 24/7 customer care helpline and follow the instructions to block the card after verifying your identity with an executive.
• Many banks also offer an SMS banking service where you can send a pre-formatted message from your registered mobile number to instantly block the card.
