AIB Debit Card

    We were hacked when we had a prepaid debit card with another company, it was hell to get the money refunded, NOT keen to repeat the experience.

    Now I have to visit an area where my then credit card was skimmed*(I believe the card no was taken electronically when I was on public transport)

    *Not sure if that is the correct term.

    Bank says we have to talk to CC on phone, we out of coverage with the team till the day I go back to where my CC was skimmed the first time.

    Anyone have any tips on how to prevent this happening again?

    Get a Revolut card.

    With a debit card you can:
    Set up a 2nd account
    Only maintain a small balance on the account linked to the card.

    Or use a prepaid like Revolut, N26 etc.

    Get a RFID blocking wallet if you think it was skimmed wirelessly on public transport. This will stop them wirelessly accessing your card data.
