1. What is a pre-authorization hold on my debit card?

   When you pay with your debit card, you may have a “pre-authorization hold” added to your account before the actual charge goes through. Businesses do this to make sure you have the funds available to cover the purchase, especially when the total amount is unknown at the time you use your card.

   For example, when you swipe your card before pumping gas, a pre-authorization hold is put on your account for an amount that’s probably going to be higher than what you’ll actually spend. When you reserve a hotel room, a hold is placed on the account for the cost of the room, plus a little more in case you have additional services during your stay. When you pay for your meal at a restaurant, a hold may be placed for the cost of the meal plus extra for the possible tip. Once the actual amount is known, that number becomes the charge. And once the charge clears your account (typically during the bank’s evening processing), the pre-authorization hold is released.

   Pre-authorization holds often can be considerably higher than what you will actually pay, and may stay on your account for a while (days, in some situations) so be sure you are prepared for this amount to be “on hold” in your account in the interim. Remember, you won’t have access to the excess funds until after the actual charge clears and the pre-authorization is released.

   Example: Joe visits a gas station and swipes his debit card before pumping his gas. The business doesn’t know how much gas Joe will pump, but it assumes the charge will be $50 or under. They place a pre-authorization hold on Joe’s card for $50 to ensure the funds are available. Joe pumps $20 worth of gas. That means there now is an extra $30 on hold in Joe’s account, and he will not have access to that money until the $20 charge clears and the $50 pre-authorization hold is released.

2. How do I set up and use Card Controls in the Mobile App?

   Card Controls enable you to monitor debit card activity, receive alerts for certain types of transactions and turn your card off/on in the event that it is lost or stolen.

   After logging in to the Mobile App, go to More on the lower right of the Accounts screen. On the Account Services screen, select Card Controls.

   You will then see a list of your debit cards. Active debit cards which are available for Card Controls use are by default set to "ON" the first time you view them. Suspended cards which are not available for Card Controls are displayed as “OFF.”

   Setting Card Controls to "ON" or "OFF" 

   • Next to Card Status, use the ON/OFF toggle to set the debit card status as being active or suspended.
   • Setting the card status to “OFF” suspends all activity on the debit card. The status must be set to “ON” to use the card.
   • A debit card must be in “Active” status to add Declines and Alerts.

   Setting debit card Alerts & Controls

   • Choose the debit card you want to set, make sure the Card Status is set to Active/ON and select the Set Declines and Alerts button.
   • The Set Declines and Alerts screen will open with three options:
     • Send Alerts for all transactions, next to a toggle bar
     • Transaction Type
     • Spend Limits
   • Next to Send Alerts for all transactions, you can set the toggle to ON to receive Alerts for all transaction types: purchase, ATM, Internet Purchase, Mail/Telephone Order, or Non-US Purchase.
   • To set up an Alert for a specific Transaction Type only, choose Transaction Type for a list of options. Tap the option(s) for which you want to receive an Alert. Set the Send Alerts option to ON. When an Alert is turned on, you will see a blue bell next to it.
   • When a transaction is set to ON, EVERY transaction of that type on the debit card will trigger an Alert.

   Declining debit card transactions

   • Choose the debit card you want to set, make sure the Card Status is set to Active/ON and select the Set Declines and Alerts button.
   • To decline a specific Transaction Type, tap Transaction Type for a list of options. Tap each option you want to block and next to Decline Transaction set the toggle to BLOCK. Note: If the Decline Transaction toggle is set to BLOCK, an Alert will automatically be sent.
   • When a transaction is set to BLOCK, EVERY transaction of that type on the debit card will be declined/blocked.

   Setting Spend Limits

   • When Spend Limits are set on your debit card, transactions made over a certain amount will be declined. To set up Spend Limits, select the Spend Limits option.
   • Turn on the Spend Limit by toggling to BLOCK and enter the maximum dollar amount to allow. ANY debit card transaction that is more than the dollar amount entered will be blocked/declined.
   • To Block transactions over a dollar amount AND receive an Alert, go to Alert Me and set the toggle to ALERT. Enter the minimum dollar amount for which you want to receive an Alert.
   • You can Block a certain dollar amount but be Alerted for a different dollar amount. For example, you can set up your card to BLOCK transactions over $200 but set up an Alert to go out anytime a transaction is made for over $100.

   A note about Email vs. Text Alerts
   Card Controls Alerts are emailed to the email address you have listed in Online Banking under Notifications and Settings on the Alerts & Notifications screen. If you also have a phone number set up to receive Text Alerts, you will receive Card Controls Alerts by text too. There is not a way to turn off the email alerts. You can turn off Text Alerts by logging in to Online Banking from a browser and removing your phone number from the Alerts & Notification screen, but this will turn off ALL Text Alerts and not just Card Controls Alerts.
