CardValet

A Mobile Fraud Protection Tool: CardValet®

CardValet gives Blackhawk Bank & Trust debit MasterCard® users the ability to actively manage your debit card usage by defining when, where and how your debit card is used.


How to turn your card on/off

  • When your debit card is “off”, no purchases or withdrawals are approved until the card is turned back “on”. This can be used to disable a lost or stolen card.
  • When the card is “on”, transactions are allowed in accordance with the cardholder’s usage control settings.

How to make the most of CardValet

  • Report or restrict PIN and signature transactions.
  • Detect unauthorized activity.
  • Establish spending limits specific to your debit card.
  • Control merchant categories.
  • Use GPS to control the purchase area.
  • Restrict usage by expandable map.
