CARD SHIELD gives you unprecedented control over how, when and where your debit cards are used. Here are a few examples.
Turn Your Card On/Off
Have you ever had that panicky feeling when you misplace a card? CARD SHIELD lets you turn the debit card off while you look for it so that no one else can use it. If they try to, the transaction will be denied. Once you find the card and are ready to use it, turn it back on.
Be Notified Whenever Your Card Is Used to Make a Purchase
How cool would it be to get a notification as soon as your card is used for a large online purchase? CARD SHIELD delivers alerts directly to your iOS or Android mobile device and lets you select the criteria used to generate the alerts. Be notified of every transaction or set your notification preferences right from the Mobile App.
Only Allow Transactions Near You
Now here's an awesome feature. Let's say you're traveling and you want to make sure your card can be used in stores only when you are physically present. Turning on the "My Location" control in CARD SHIELD and having your mobile phone in your possession will ensures that your in-store transactions are approved. Anyone else trying to use your card, in a different location, will have their in-store purchases denied.
Share Your Card, But Set Limits
Wouldn't it be nice to loan your child a card but set limits on where it can be used and the amount that can be spent? CARD SHIELD lets you share a card while limiting its usage to a specific location or geographic region. You can also limit the maximum amount that can be spent per transaction. Now your child can have a good time at the amusement park but cannot come home with the latest gaming console.
These are just a few examples of how CARD SHIELD can help you control and manage your cards. For more information, refer to the Help section in the Mobile App.
