Your security is our top priority at Zilch. Make sure you know how to spot suspicious activity on your account by keeping these tips in mind.

We'll never ask you for sensitive account information

If anyone ever contacts you (even if they say they’re calling from Zilch) and asks for a:

Then it is a fraudulent call.

Zilch will never ask you for sensitive account information. The police or
the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) would also never ask you for this.

Never click on suspicious links

If you receive a text or email with a link to a website you don’t recognise, don’t click on it. If do accidentally open a link, don’t enter any personal information on the site that loads.

Never respond to third party payment requests

We’ll never send you these. Any payment requests that send you to an unfamiliar site should be treated as fraudulent. If you’ve entered your details into one of these sites, contact us immediately.

Check for unusual phone numbers

If you receive a message or call that seems suspicious, please contact us to confirm that it really did come from us. Never respond to any messages you think are suspicious.

Double-check if unexpected messages are real

If an email, text or call seems strange or urgent, please contact us to double-check these messages are really from Zilch. You can reach out via Live Chat in the app or using the contact information on our website.
