Check before you insure

Fraudsters may promote fake vehicle insurance policies on websites, social media or messaging apps, using low prices or limited-time offers to attract buyers.

These offers may look genuine, but they are designed to capture your personal information, banking details or payments without providing valid insurance coverage.

When buying vehicle insurance online:

Use only licensed insurance providers and approved digital channels.
Check the provider’s website and contact details before making any payment.
Be wary of unusually low prices or offers that demand immediate payment.
Never share your Online Banking credentials, card details or One-Time Passwords (OTPs).
Review and confirm the policy details before completing your purchase.

A few simple checks before you buy can help protect your personal information and finances from fraud.
