## What is BNH CardControl?

Protect your debit and credit cards by sending transaction alerts and giving you the ability to define when, where and how your cards are used. Simply download the app to your mobile device, then customize your alert preferences and usage settings to monitor and manage your cards.

Alerts Ensure Safe, Secure Card Usage
Alerts for PIN and signature transactions can be set up to keep you informed of your debit and credit card usage and help you quickly detect unauthorized or fraudulent activity. This app can send an alert when a card is used or when a card transaction has been attempted but is declined – and additional customizable alert options are available. Alerts are sent in real time, immediately after a transaction has taken place.

Location-Based Alerts and Controls
The My Location control can restrict transactions to merchants located within a certain range of your location (using your device’s GPS); transactions requested outside of the specified range can be declined. The My Region control uses city, state, country or zip code on an expandable interactive map; transactions requested by merchants outside of a specific region can be declined.

Usage Alerts and Controls
Spending limits can be established to allow transactions up to a certain dollar value and decline transactions when amounts exceed your defined thresholds. Transactions can be monitored and managed for specific merchant categories such as gas stations, department stores, restaurants entertainment, travel, and groceries. And your transactions can also be monitored for specific transaction types: in-store purchases, e-commerce transactions, mail/phone orders and ATM transactions.

Card On/Off Setting
When the card is “on,” transactions are allowed in accordance with your usage settings. When the card is “off,” no purchases or withdrawals are approved until the card is subsequently turned back “on.” This control can be used to disable a lost or stolen card, prevent fraudulent activity in the case of a data breach, or control spending.

• Real-time balance inquiries

This app is perfect when you’re in a financial crisis! This app lets me make sure money will not leave my checking account while I’m waiting for rent to come out.

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2024-11-07*

After repeatedly being told to download this app, which I have, it worked once over a year ago. BNH has gone down hill.

### 1/5 — No point

*2024-01-13*

Don’t work

### 1/5 — Hasn't worked for over a week now

*2023-03-29*

This WAS a great app when it accessed BNH's server . Now no matter if I go through BNH's mobile app or directly through this app I get the "cannot connect to bank's server - retry " message . I have uninstalled it, restarted my iPhone, reinstalled it, restarted my iPhone so many times to no avail . I have reported it to the home office of BNH . There have been no updates as to what is going on . Very disappointing.
