Read full description

Protect your debit and credit cards by sending you transactional alerts and giving you the ability to define when, where, and how your cards are used. Simply download the app to your phone, 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 allow you to restrict transactions to merchants located within a certain range of your location (using your phone’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 let you establish spending limits 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. 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 allows you to turn your card “on” or “off.” 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. Additional capabilities include conducting card-related mobile transactions wherever you are, any time of the day. Supported transactions include real-time balance inquiries and locating ATMs. Key benefits: all cardholders can receive alerts to monitor transactions and protect their accounts; you can actively manage your money and take charge of your card usage; parents can remotely control and monitor their children’s spending; businesses can ensure spending policy compliance.
