So sorry to see your inconvenience regarding the unrecognized transactions made with your bank account. For this matter, let me do my best to assist you. 

I dont see any recent debits from this XXXX XXXX account to your bank. I suggest checking with your bank to learn more about the charge in question. 

It is possible someone has compromised your debit card and linked it to their own XXXX XXXX account. If this is the case, you will need your banks assistance to potentially reverse the transaction. 

In addition to the security measures we suggest, we ask that you take further steps to ensure the safety of your account : - XXXX XXXX Sign-In Code or PIN - We will never ask you to provide us this outside of the XXXX. 
- XXXX XXXX - Enable this to require your passcode or Touch ID to authorize every in-app XXXX XXXX payment. 
- Personal Identification Number ( PIN ) - Protect it and keep it private. Do not write it on your card or store it with your card. 
- Use a difficult to guess PIN. 
- Avoid number sequences ( 1234 ), DOB, SSN, address, phone number, etc. 
- Push Notifications - Enable for every transaction. 
- We strongly encourage an alternate or secondary email for additional security. 
- Virtual Card - Hide your card details by clicking on your card. 
- Touch ID / Facial Recognition / Passcode - Enable enhanced login security measures on all devices. 
- Because all devices vary, please check your device manual for more details. 
- Email Two-Factor Authentication - Enable for an additional layer of security.

I hope this information was helpful to you, and if you may have another inquiry or question, please feel free to reply the email and we will do our best to assist you. 

Best regards, XXXX XXXX.
