From the Card Mgmt & Rewards widget within Internet Banking and Mobile Banking, you can block and unblock transactions on your Visa Debit Card at will -- offering you additional security that is completely self-service. When a card is blocked, no transactions are allowed, including signature or POS transactions and ATM withdrawals. Conversely, an unblocked card allows all transactions. If you are someone who likes strict security, you could even keep your cards in the locked state and only unblock them when you want to make a purchase.
With this feature, If you card is lost or stolen you can immediately block the card to help prevent others from using it. If your card is lost or stolen, we ask that you still contact us so that we can make arrangements to send you a replacement card.
When you register a card, you can elect to receive alerts by text or email any time a transaction has been made with your card. At the present time, we do not have the ability to turn these alerts off once turned on, but future upgrades will restore the ability to turn them on and off at will.
Please note: Enhancements are coming by the end of 2021 that will also allow you to block/unblock transactions on your HVCU Visa Credit Cards.
