What is Card Protection Plan?
A Card Protection Plan (CPP) is very helpful in case you lose your debit or credit card.
Not only can you get all your cards blocked at once but you also get many additional facilities.
Even though digital transactions are increasing rapidly in the country, there is hardly any person who does not have one or more debit or credit cards in his pocket.
In the present times of cashless transactions, most of people either make payments by card or use a mobile wallet.
Debit and credit may reduce the risk of carrying your cash, but they are more likely to be lost or stolen.

An easy way to do this is to take a Card Protection Plan (CPP) and become tension-free. Many banks in India are providing this facility also. Today we will discuss in detail about CPP.
