Axis Bank credit card customers allege fraudulent transactions on the social media. Details here

livemint.com:

Axis Bank customers have faced fraudulent transactions, as some of them have highlighted their concerns on social media.

One Sandeep Srinivasa posted on ‘X’ that one of his cards was used for a fraudulent transaction at Uber Eats Canada. Although a card was reissued, a fraudulent transaction was issued on the new card.

He also wrote that “Axis Bank refusing to investigate why the new card got a fraudulent transaction was insanely careless. Like at the very least, check that the new card is not transmitted through Automated Biller."

Another user Aadil Bandukwala says that his card was used too without his permission and without OTP for two transactions at Air France.

Some were suggesting the users to turn off international transactions since all these fraudulent transactions that were reported were international. One Abhishek Yadav wrote that “If you have an Axis Bank card, then it is better to turn off your international transactions."  

Axis Bank, meanwhile, released a statement via Axis Bank Support's ‘X’ handle clarifying that there has been no breach of any systems although some unauthorised transactions took place from certain merchants which have been blocked.
