Fast card payments have become everyday life, but did you know that this very speed can be your nightmare? The Bank of Spain reveals that many users don’t check the amount on the POS terminal before approving the payment. The result? Wrong or inflated charges that can seriously hurt your budget.

The Bank of Spain advises regularly monitoring all transactions to quickly spot unauthorized charges and react in time. Electronic receipts are a lifesaver for those who hate paper clutter. Adopt these simple habits and save yourself from financial headaches. Now, think about it — how many times have you blindly approved a payment?
