Fraud Protection
A lost or stolen card is just one area of concern in today's world where identity theft, skimming and other attacks are an unfortunate reality. Turning your credit card off when you're not using it helps safeguard against fraud. When your card is "off," no withdrawals or purchases will be approved. Transaction controls that allow your credit card to work only in specific locations or geographic areas, add another layer of protection. And real-time alerts keep you informed when your card is used or declined.
Control Spending
If you're trying to establish or stick to a budget, CardValet can help. Set spending limits for general use or specify thresholds by merchant types, such as gas, groceries or retail stores. You can also establish these controls by location. The flexible app lets you change these parameters anytime with ease via your mobile device. Going on vacation? Holiday shopping? Simply update your transaction controls to fit your spending needs.
