On the main Card Control screen, each debit or credit card you have will be listed alongside a toggling status. If your card is on, it will be listed as Active and the toggle switch will be green and say ON. If off, it will be Inactive and the toggle switch will be gray and say OFF.

Typically, responses arrive within one minute, but timing may vary. You may experience delays or failures in delivery of an alert due to, but not limited to, any of the following reasons:

• Merchant delay in processing a transaction
• Delays and/or failures attributable to network operators and telecommunications providers
• If your mobile device is off or out of operating range of a carrier with an appropriate signal for SMS and/or data services
• A variety of other wireless service and coverage conditions
• Active or passive filtering of email messages
• Insufficient space in the email account that is to receive email messages

If you have the the "Declines and Alerts" option set to All Transactions, then all one-time transactions are blocked when you set a card to OFF. Any recurring payments or auto-payments will continue to process normally.

If you have your "Declines and Alerts" option set to Preferred Transactions, then only the categories in which you turned the block on will be declined. Any recurring payments or auto-payments will continue to process normally.

Options may be unavailable based on your settings in Online Banking. You must be opted in to Text Message Banking and have push notifications enabled to use all the card control alert options. If you need assistance, please contact us at 334.598.4411.
