Malta-based Bank of Valletta has enhanced security measures for its cards by launching an activation process, which is being applied to all cards.
Customers can activate the card either by sending an SMS or by contacting BOV customer service centre. The bank’s representative will authenticate the customer and activate the card to protect from fraudsters.
