Manage your credit card payments and earn rewards with CRED, the premier Indian fintech platform, while adding a powerful layer of privacy to your financial life. To join CRED, you must provide a phone number, which becomes the key to accessing your account and its sensitive financial data. Using a dedicated virtual number provides a strategic separation between your most sensitive financial data and your public-facing identity.
Insulate Your Most Sensitive Financial Data
CRED has access to your credit card statements, creating a detailed map of your spending. By using a dedicated virtual number for your CRED account that you don't use anywhere else, you create a powerful layer of insulation. This makes it significantly harder for anyone who knows your public, primary phone number to even know you are a CRED user, let alone target your account.
A Dedicated Channel for Critical OTPs
Your entire CRED account is secured by OTPs sent to your registered number. Using a dedicated number that receives no other spam or messages ensures this critical channel is clean and secure. It minimizes the risk of your OTPs being lost, ignored, or compromised through social engineering attacks that target your more public primary number.
A Firewall for Your Financial Identity
A dedicated number for a high-security app like CRED acts as a firewall for your identity. In the event of a data breach on a less secure service where you've used your primary number, there is no link back to your CRED account. This compartmentalization is a fundamental security practice for anyone serious about protecting their financial health in the digital age.
