How do I request a new HDFC credit card after losing the old one?

In the current day, we are moving towards becoming increasingly cashless. We use Debit Cards and Credit Cards more than physical cash to make our payments. While Debit Cards come with great ease of usage, since your transactions are complete within a matter of minutes, there are high possibilities that you might also end up losing your card.

While making payments using Debit Cards are incredibly safe, they also pose a great threat to your account security if you lose them. Since your bank account is linked directly to your Debit Card, you stand to be a victim of financial fraud or theft. To avoid that, you need to take quick actions to ensure that you do not have to bear any financial losses, in case you lose the card.

If you have lost your HDFC Bank Credit Card or it has been stolen, you can hotlist or cancel it by calling our Phone Banking numbers, blocking it online through Net Banking or visiting an HDFC branch. 

 

What to do if your Debit Card is lost?

The very first step you must take is to contact your bank. It is also recommended to lodge an FIR at the nearest police station and present a copy of the same to the bank for further procedures.

You can reach out to your bank for reporting of the theft in various ways.

Call Phone Banking

Hotlist and Reissue your card through Net Banking

Hotlist and Reissue your card through Mobile Banking

Contact your Branch and they will hotlist your card on your behalf.

Now that your card is hotlisted, you should reissue a new Debit Card. You can do the same through digital channels (Mobile Banking / Net Banking) or go in a branch and get instant Debit Card.

How to find a lost Debit Card?


Finding a lost Debit Card is possible only if you remember the 16-digit unique Debit Card number. If you remember the details, you can notify the bank and the police. But, there are slim chances that a lost Debit Card will be recovered. In most cases, you can always apply and get a new Debit Card within 2-3 working days. The issue of a new duplicate Debit Card may be requested at the time of reporting the loss of the card. However, some charges may be levied by the bank for issuing the new card.

Most banks have zero liability policy to protect cardholders, especially in case a card loss is reported within the stipulated time. This means that if you report the loss or theft of your Debit Card within the given time, your bank is legally mandated to protect you by blocking or freezing the card. However, beyond that period, your bank is not liable to help you with any losses you incur.

How do I replace my HDFC Debit Card if it is damaged?


Have you ever lost your Debit Card? When a wallet got stolen, or you forgot to take it back after paying your bill at the restaurant or dropped it while you were shopping?

Debit Cards have become an integral way of life for customers to make payments without the hassles of cash. Unlike Credit Cards where customers need to remember to settle bill payments every month, Debit Cards allow customers to make payments which get directly deducted from the account. It is also the means to access cash when needed, and losing such access is painful.

In the era of digital payments, Debit Cards have become irreplaceable. Hence, banks have made it simple for their customers to apply for reissue of ATM or Debit card - whether it is lost, stolen, or damaged.

To begin with, if you have lost your Debit Card, the first thing to do is call the customer care and block your card to avoid tampering and misuse. Read here on how HDFC Bank allows customers to block Debit Card.

Once the card is blocked, all banks offer multiple channels to apply for reissue of ATM Cards:

  • Online via NetBanking 


  • Login to your respective bank website and open the cards section. In the service request section, choose the card that needs replacement and select to make a reissue ATM Card application. Banks accept the request and dispatch a new card to your registered mailing address within a couple of working days.

  • Online via MobileBanking


  • If you do not have access to NetBanking, every bank mobile application allows users to submit an application for reissue of ATM Card.  Login to the MobileApp and select Cards from the menu section. You could click on service request from the Cards section after identifying the specific card number for replacement. The Bank dispatches the Debit Card reissued to the mailing address registered.

  • Offline via Customer Care or Branch Visit


  • In case you are not comfortable using either NetBanking or Mobile Applications to raise these requests, you could quickly reach out to your bank customer care helpline numbers and speak to a customer service executive to register a reissue ATM Card application. The request is logged in by the customer care team, and the new card is issued and dispatched directly to your registered mailing address.

    However, if you are near the vicinity of a bank branch, you could also visit and submit an application for a replacement of your Debit Card in person and collect the card from the branch or request it to be delivered to your mailing address.

    While banks have simplified the process to reissue an ATM Card, the process attracts a negligible replacement charge which varies from one Bank to another. The charge would be directly debited to your account when the new ATM card is issued.

    So, the next time you lose a card, remember first to block the Debit Card and use any of the three simple, secure and efficient ways mentioned to request a reissue of ATM Card with the Bank.
