What should I do if I’ve lost my card, or believe that my card details may have been compromised?

If your Klivvr card has been lost or stolen, or you believe your card details have been compromised, you should report the situation immediately through your Klivvr application, and then reorder a new one to keep your money safe. Additionally, you can still view your balance and complete in-app transactions or purchases.

Once the card has been reported stolen, it will be cancelled and cannot be used again, even if it is returned or found later. The new card will have a new number, expiry date, and CVV. Once you receive it, you will have to activate it and set a new PIN.

We should add that you can still see your balance and complete in-app transactions.

If you do not have access to your Klivvr mobile application, you can also request to block your card or account by calling us at 15705.

How to dispute a transaction?

Have you noticed a card transaction on your Klivvr account history that you don’t recognize? Did you place an order online but never received it? Read on to find out how to request a chargeback in this situation.

To dispute a transaction with Klivvr, you can view the transaction details in your Klivvr application or contact us through our customer support number at 15705.

Important:

  • If your dispute is about an unauthorized transaction, you will need to block your Klivvr card and order a new one to prevent further fraud before we can process your request. Your Klivvr application will guide you through these steps.
  • If you select a transaction but the report button does not appear, this means that the transaction has been authorised but not settled yet. In this case, you will need to wait until the charge becomes a presentment. Read this article “What is difference between authorizations and presentments?”
  • If you have already closed your Klivvr account and no longer have access to your Klivvr application, you will need to contact customer support from your registered e-mail address at support@Klivvr.com.

What is a charge back?

A chargeback is the return of a card payment to a customer by the merchant following a transaction dispute. The chargeback is paid out once the transaction dispute has been successfully resolved in favor of the customer.

Klivvr offers a chargeback service through Visa, which allows you to dispute transactions made by someone other than yourself or when a mistake occurs on the merchant’s part. For example, if you ordered goods online and didn’t receive them by the expected delivery date, you may be eligible for a chargeback.

What are the differences between authorizations and presentments?

Klivvr gives you real-time access to your account, so you can see your transactions as they happen.

To this end, two main transaction types take place during an in-store or online purchase:

Authorizations: A block or reserved amount made by a retailer or merchant. This includes anything from your morning cup of coffee to hotel or car rental bookings (including security deposits). This amount is held from your total balance but has still not been deducted from your total balance.

Presentments are the actual sums deducted from your account. Again, that cup of coffee is finally cleared from your account, or you can get your security deposit back once you have checked out of that hotel room or returned your rental car to the merchant safe and sound.

Once an authorization has been confirmed, Klivvr cannot cancel or reverse it. At that point, three things can happen to your authorization: it turns into a presentment, it is rejected, or it expires. In the last two scenarios, your money will be automatically returned to your account within 14 days. Additionally, you can request a refund if you didn’t perform this transaction.

If it doesn’t expire within 14 days, Klivvr customer support can help you get your money back.

How to protect my identity?

To protect and help avoid the misuse of your personal data, please keep in mind that:

  • Only complete the verification process if you want to open a Klivvr account for yourself. We will never ask you to verify another individual or company’s identity. This can include verification for lines of credit or job offers (including jobs with Klivvr).
  • As the account owner, only you should be able to create and have access to your login details.
  • To stay safe, never create a Klivvr account with a predefined e-mail address and password. If you use login credentials that were given to you, these credentials may be used to access your personal or legal information.
  • Never log into a Klivvr account that is not yours.
  • Do not send your ID or passport to unknown or unverified recipients.
  • Klivvr may ask for certain documents when your transaction is subject to a routine check. Only send valid documentation to verify Klivvr e-mail accounts.
  • We will never ask for your passcode, one-time password, or card PIN. You should never provide this information to anyone, neither Klivvr nor any external website or app.

If you have received a suspicious request from a third party or think your Klivvr login may be compromised, please do not hesitate to contact us.

What is my PIN number?

PIN, which stands for personal identification number, is as easy as it sounds. At Klivvr, we have 2 types of PINs: the confirmation PIN & Card PIN.

The confirmation PIN is used to confirm all actions made within the app, such as transfers, password changes, etc. While the Card PIN is used to make withdrawals and pay in shops with your card.

How does Klivvr detect and monitor fraud?

Klivvr has a specialized team focused on monitoring and identifying suspicious transactions on the platform. With the help of advanced statistical models, security algorithms, and human behavioral analysis, our team of experts ensures that your money is always in safe hands.

If Klivvr suspects a fraudulent transaction, you will be contacted straight away.

What does Klivvr do when fraudulent behavior is detected?

When our team of experts detects irregular activity, Klivvr takes all available mitigation measures, as per regulatory law, to prevent further damage. This includes flagging the transaction, contacting the cardholder, rejecting transactions, and in rare cases, closing and reporting the offending accounts in question to the authorities.

When suspicious transactions indicate the existence of money laundering, terrorist financing, or any other criminal offense, Klivvr immediately reports these activities to the Egyptian Transaction Investigation Unit and local supervisory entities.

Why does Klivvr do checks on transactions?

Klivvr is responsible for running routine checks on accounts and transactions to ensure account security. These checks are automatically initiated by our systems.

As a result, we may ask you to provide some documents. If you receive such a request, please send the requested documents via Klivvr application Messages, with no exception.

This practice is a standard banking procedure and ensures the safety of our customers. Both the process and the result are handled internally and strictly confidential. Here are some steps you can take to speed up the process:

  • The document that we need you to provide will be requested in the message you will receive from Klivvr. You can send the team scanned documents, pictures, or screenshots as long as the original content of the document is easily readable. Please make sure to also provide a detailed description.
  • Be precise in your answers, details, and documents. Once the team has received the required proof and description, Klivvr will let you know if your reply passed the check. In a few cases, Klivvr might ask for further clarification, which may prolong the process.
  • Reply as soon as possible, preferably before the deadline stated in the message you have received from Klivvr. Use that same e-mail to reply and send attachments.

How can I close my Klivvr account?

At this time, you can close your personal Klivvr account from your Klivvr application. To do this, simply navigate to your settings >> Close account >> Confirm, then our customer support team will contact you shortly to handle the request.

Please note that closing your Klivvr account will not automatically transfer funds to your bank or return them to the original senders. Before you close your account, please contact our customer support to ensure transferring the funds to your bank account. That means you will need to transfer any funds in your Klivvr account to your bank account or associated cards and return the funds to the sender before deleting your account.
