Money checks

Pause before the payment step.

A clear record, a fixed limit and a verified cashier path reduce avoidable payment risk.

Use a four-part payment check

  1. 1

    Purpose

    Know whether the transaction is a deposit, fee, verification hold or withdrawal-related step.

  2. 2

    Limit

    Set the maximum before opening the payment screen. Do not increase it to recover an earlier result.

  3. 3

    Record

    Keep the date, amount, method and confirmation. A clear ledger is more reliable than memory.

  4. 4

    Exit

    Know how withdrawals are requested and which identity checks may be required before depositing.

Requests that deserve a stop

Pause if a payment must be sent to a personal account, a new wallet supplied in a chat, or a method that cannot be reconciled with the stated cashier. Urgency is not evidence that a payment is legitimate.
