What are Card Controls and Alerts?

Card Controls and Alerts enable you to monitor and manage your debit card activity from within Online Banking and the Mobile App. There is no cost to use Card Controls.

Here are a few of the benefits of using Card Controls:

Monitor
Know exactly what is happening with your debit card, anytime and anywhere. Turn on alerts for Internet purchases, ATM transactions and more.

Manage
Use Card Controls to immediately turn your debit card on or off in case it is misplaced or lost, or for any other reason. You can also set transaction limits, so all debit card transactions above a certain amount will be declined.

Visit our Card Controls page for more information, including how to enroll.

Even if you use Card Controls to turn off your debit card, you should still contact us at 1-800-731-2265 to report any unauthorized activity.

Please note that Card Controls are for debit card transactions and HELOC cards only. They are not available for checks clearing or ACH transactions.
