Concerned about fraud

At St.George, protecting our customers against fraud is of the utmost importance to us.

Our St.George Fraud Money Back Guarantee ensures that any unauthorised transaction claims will be reimbursed provided that the cardholder has not contributed to the loss and contacted us promptly1.

We use a wide network of secure systems to ensure you can shop with confidence knowing you are protected from credit card fraud.

This includes 24/7 Fraud monitoring that detects any unusual purchase activity on your card.

  • Our Fraud Detection Team can from time to time advise you on unusual activity on your card and ask if the charges are yours. We will send you an SMS (text) to confirm the transaction, and ask you to text back with your confirmation.
  • We may also call you from time to time for a Fraud check to make sure all the transactions we are seeing on your account are genuine. 

An added layer of protection to your credit card security is our Secure Online Shopping Service available to all St.George credit holders.

Report a lost or stolen card or let us know of any suspicious transactions immediately.
