"The bank" phones you and asks for your card details: what to say in Czech
A "bank" phones you and asks for card details.
💡
How it's done. A bank never asks over the phone for the PIN, a password or a code from an SMS; hang up and call the bank yourself on the number from your app.Prepared by the Movko team, November 2026. This is language help, not legal or medical advice: check the rules with the office itself.
