Autopayment is a convenient service that saves a significant amount of time that could otherwise be spent on making payments.

But it can also be dangerous - if connected incorrectly, you can get a lot of unpleasant problems.

Experts urge you to pay special attention to the settings and check all the details; otherwise, funds may go to another account.

At the same time, the debts for payment will not go away - they will gradually begin to accumulate.

What else do you need to know?

It often happens that the user himself forgets about the connected payment - sometimes the money is transferred to a SIM card that is no longer in use.

Autopayment can be used by fraudsters if a virus or malware has been downloaded to the phone.

In some cases, fraudsters can even withdraw money from the card if they manage to log into online banking.

It is strongly recommended that you do not disable messages from your bank, which will allow you to find out if someone is using your card without your knowledge.
