Lost or stolen bank cards
If you have had your bank cards stolen, you should contact your bank immediately to cancel them as soon as possible to prevent anyone using your card fraudulently. If your bank is not listed and you have no access to the internet, then contact a friend/relative in the UK to find the contact number either through the internet or directory enquiries. If you do not have the resources to do this then contact the British High Commission, who may be able to assist you.
