Debit Card Controls and Alerts

YOUR DEBIT CARD. YOUR SETTINGS.

Protect yourself. Debit card controls and alerts give you peace of mind when you shop.

With our debit card Controls and Alerts settings, you can choose how and when your card is used — or receive alerts every time an unusual purchase is made. Simply adjust your settings in our Consumer Mobile Banking app¹. Protect yourself and use your card with confidence.

Benefits of Controls and Alerts

Protect yourself against fraud by customizing your controls and alerts to match your typical behavior. For example:

Limit card usage to only certain types of transactions (In-Store, Auto Pay, etc.)
If you think you may have lost your card, you can turn it off in seconds.
