To safeguard the integrity of UMass Bank Cards,, do not share your full card number, CVV, expiry date, or screenshots of cards, when communicating with UPST. The Bank Card team only requires the, last four digits of your card and cardholder name, for identification purposes. Sharing full details or card images is against policy and will result in card closure and a mandatory replacement card being issued. Thank you for helping us maintain security and compliance.
