What is a Selfie Check? Why is it needed? How do I do it properly?

The law requires that banks like UNO conduct due diligence prior to starting a relationship with a new customer.

– Before taking a selfie, remove your glasses and / or hat and avoid excessive backlighting. 

– To capture your selfie automatically, frame your face inside the oval and position your device at eye level while looking directly at the camera.

– Verify that your eyes are open. 

– Confirm that you are satisfied with the capture. Otherwise, you may choose to retake.

Why doesn’t my camera work when I am doing my registration?

It is because you have not granted permission for the UNO Mobile App to use your phone’s camera. You can go to your phone settings to grant camera permission to the UNO Mobile App.

What is the UNO Debit Mastercard?

The UNO Debit Mastercard is the first Numberless debit card in the Philippines.  

 

It is your worldwide access to your #UNOready savings account. You can use your card to pay for retail purchases in stores or online worldwide wherever Mastercard is accepted and to withdraw cash from any Mastercard ATM in the Philippines and from ove million Mastercard ATMs worldwide.  

 

The card is also made using 85.5% recycled plastic making it the more sustainable card material choice. They help reduce waste, energy, and pollution, which makes them great for the environment! 

​Why is the numberless card safer than the traditional card?

Through the world’s fastest and most reliable global payments network, the Mastercard numberless physical card cardholders enjoy the same robust and multi-layered security protections that come with paying via the existing Mastercard payment solution. The card only shows the cardholder’s name while information such as the card number and its expiry date, which are usually printed on traditional cards, would instead be saved in the card’s chip. These pieces of information, as well as the card verification code (CVC) normally printed at the back of traditional cards, would be shown on the digital card via the UNO Digital Bank app – further enhancing privacy and security levels. You can simply login to the app and verify your identity to obtain the required information for online shopping. 

How do I use the numberless UNO Debit Mastercard?

You can use your card to pay for retail purchases in stores or online where Mastercard is accepted and enjoy services at all ATMs globally that accept Mastercard after successful activation.  

 

To make online transactions, simply log in to the app to get the card details to complete your transaction. 

Are there any restrictions on transactions using the numberless UNO Debit Mastercard?

You may set your daily spend limits via the UNO Digital Bank app, according to your personal financial habits. When your transactions exceed the daily spend limit, the system will automatically limit the transaction. You can also use the app to check transaction records in real time, thus greatly improving the efficiency of financial management. 

 

Why is there no card information shown on my UNO Debit Mastercard?

The “Numberless” card feature is an industry-first innovation in the Philippines providing you with enhanced security to protect you from fraud. With no card number, CVC or expiry date visible on the card, unauthorized transactions on your card will become difficult. 

 

In the unfortunate case that you lose your card, you must lock your card and report it as lost immediately by choosing to “Replace My Card” via the UNO Digital Bank app. In case you are unable to access the app, you may report your concern via the UNO Customer Happiness Hotline at  +632 8811 8866 or  +63 919 0599866 during our business hours of 6am to 10pm – Mondays to Sundays, or send us an email at CustomerHappiness@uno.bank
