Secondly, if you press some wrong digits of the accounts where you want to send the money or write one additional digit in the amount section than after clicking button submit you can?t do anything to stop the transfer. That is once the wrong submission is made neither the account or the amount can be changed or stopped from being getting transferred.

3. Also there are many hackers sitting before their computers to watch, when a person makes an online payment. When you make the online payment, the hackers try to trace your credit card number and password and all other information so that they can use that information to transfer your money in their account.

4. In case of credit card gets lost than it requires many forms filling and letter writing to the bank for its lost confirmation and generating a new password or even credit card on its behalf. Thus on the negative side, there are many losses of online credit card payments. Among them is wrong amount or account payment due to some human error, inability to catch the fraud, the fear of hackers and lots of form filling in case the card gets lost.
