Oh Crap! My Union Card Did a Houdini! (aka How to Block Your Union Bank Credit Card Before It Vanishes)
Let's face it, losing your credit card is like losing your phone with all your embarrassing selfies - a recipe for panic. But fear not, fellow Union cardholder, for I'm here to guide you through the hilarious (okay, maybe slightly stressful) journey of blocking your card before it goes on a shopping spree in the Maldives (because who wouldn't, right?).
Step 1: Acceptance (and a Touch of Self-Deprecation)
First things first, acknowledge the situation. Did you leave your card at your grandma's house after a heated game of Carrom? Or did it mysteriously disappear from your wallet like a magician's handkerchief? Embrace the absurdity (because let's be honest, sometimes our lives are like blooper reels).
Step 2: Choose Your Weapon (of Blocking)
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.![]()
Union Bank, in its infinite wisdom, offers multiple ways to block your card, each with its own flair and drama. Buckle up, buttercup!
How To Block Union Bank Credit Card |
Option 1: The Phone Whiz
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.![]()
- Dial 1800 22 22 44 or 080-25300175. Be prepared for some upbeat elevator music and the occasional prompt that sounds like it escaped a 90s robot movie. But hey, at least you get to practice your "polite but firm" voice.
Option 2: The Digital Dynamo
- Login to the Union Bank Credit Card Control Portal (because who doesn't love a good portal these days?). Navigate the labyrinthine menus like Indiana Jones searching for the Ark, and finally, triumphantly click "block card". Bonus points if you do it all while wearing your PJs.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.![]()
Option 3: The SMS Samurai
- For the textaholics, send "CARDLOST XXXX" (replace XXXX with your last 4 digits) to 7836884400. This is the James Bond option, sending a secret message to deactivate your card with the flick of a virtual thumb.
Step 3: Revel in the Sweet Relief (and Maybe Order Pizza)
Your card is blocked! High five yourself (carefully, don't injure your other hand)! Now, celebrate your victory with a delicious pizza (because what's better than retail therapy after a financial crisis? Edible therapy, duh!).
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.![]()
Remember: Blocking your card is just the first step. Be sure to report it lost or stolen officially and apply for a replacement.
Bonus Tip: Keep your emergency contact information updated with Union Bank. You never know when you might need a credit card guardian angel.
