Life is too short to spend time worrying about the little things. For example, if your personal debit card ever becomes lost, stolen or misplaced – we’ve got you, and your worries, covered with our debit card controls. This way, you can keep on keepin’ on and we’ll take care of the rest.
Our debit card controls are incredibly easy to manage and accessible from anywhere. Whatever the conditions, it’s easy to freeze your Gate City Bank debit card from the convenience of our mobile app or online banking. Plus, you can also:
Getting started is quick and easy! Simply log in to online banking or the Gate City Bank mobile app, navigate to the “More” menu option and select “Control Debit Cards.” You can also go to the “Accounts” menu option, choose “Select Account” and tap “Freeze.”
With debit card controls, you can lock your debit card so that no transactions will be approved (aside from reoccurring payments). You can also set blocks based on:
International: Transactions for your card outside your home country will be blocked. (Note: If this option is enabled, the region limit type can’t be used.)
Region: This limits the use of a card within a specified radius. Any transactions attempted outside that radius will be blocked.
Merchant: Block transactions for a card based on specific types of businesses.
Transaction: Easily block transactions for a card based on the transaction type.
Amount: Set a limit for the transaction amount for a card. Transactions higher than the designated limit will be blocked.
We’d love to help here! On the Gate City Bank mobile app or in your online banking account, simply navigate to “Control Debit Cards,” choose the account you would like to add or edit an alert for and tap “Set Card Alerts” from the list of options.
We know how important it is to act quickly when your debit card is lost, stolen or misplaced. Luckily, debit card controls can be used to temporarily freeze (or enable) your card, set alerts or set card controls such as blocking all international transactions or setting dollar amount limits. All alerts and controls take effect immediately upon updating. This also means if you end up finding your card, it can easily (and quickly) be reactivated!
Note: If you feel your card is lost or stolen and you are unable to locate it, please contact us so we can permanently close the card and issue you a new one.
Simply follow these steps to remove the lock:
