My wife and I keep getting our debit cards stolen online. We notice the charges and are able to dispute them and cancel our cards, but it sure is annoying.

We don't put our card information on suspicious websites. They're on well known websites like amazon and Facebook.

We ran out emails through a data breach checker and it found nothing.

I don't think there's any malware on our devices.

Any idea what could be happening and how to prevent it?

I don't have apple pay, but I do use Google pay whenever I can.

Google Pay will do the same thing so you should be good there. It's called credit card tokenization.

Looks like Google will offer that too if you use Google Wallet on your phone.
