Careem is committed to protecting you against the growing threats of internet scams, identity theft, and malicious fraud. Our priority is to keep your personal information private, safe and secure.

We know how important your personal information is to you, and we’ve taken several steps to keep your Careem account information private and secure. Careem adopts leading industry standards, processes and platforms, including encryption, authentication, authorization and card data security standards to keep your personal and payment information safe.
Fraud Detection
With new technologies financial crime has become more sophisticated and complex than ever before. By integrating intelligence from all our sources, our dedicated fraud management team monitors transactions 24/7 to reduce potential fraud risk.
Account Verification Processes
Your Careem Pay account goes through several verification procedures to maintain the highest levels of security, trust and protection. When you create a new account using the Careem app, you will be required to complete comprehensive sets of security procedures as part of customer identification & verification process.
Password Security
- Do not use easy-to-guess passwords, for example: your name, date of birth, contact number, etc.
- Use a passphrase instead of passwords, with a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.
- Do not share your password with anyone and do not use the same password for other websites or applications.
Masked, even from us!
Your personally identifiable data is safe with us. Even our customer service agents cannot see your full credit card number, expiry or CVV details. When you enter your credit card information into the app, it’s masked so it can’t be misused.
We keep you informed
Whenever you use your Careem App for a transaction, we will send a notification to your registered mobile number. Please be vigilant against attempts of false notifications redirecting you to non Careem links or applications. If you notice any suspicious alerts, report it here under Cyber Security service.

Protecting your security at all times is paramount to us. While Careem has implemented strong security controls to adapt and evolve its security defense to stay ahead of threats, Security Awareness is one of the key measures to prevent incidents from happening. Your awareness and alertness will ensure your information remains protected and this will help in strengthening the human firewall across Careem and its valued users.
