Can I control and manage my credit and debit cards?

Members have the ability to report lost, stolen or damaged cards and the system will generate new cards for them. In the event of lost/stolen where they had transactions they did not perform, they will still need to contact Coop to dispute those charges. As you can see from the screenshot below, the options provide notice of what will result when taking each action.

Block the card

  • This allows a member to block the card entirely. Example: I don’t use my debit card for anything other than at an ATM. I keep my card blocked until I am ready to run an ATM transaction. I log into the mobile app a minute prior to the transaction and unblock the card and as soon as I’m done put the block back on. These features are live time (depending on cell service).

    Set card alerts

  • Members can set up alerts where specific transactions will email, text or both.
  • This can be set up by geographic location, transaction limits, Transaction type or merchant type.
  • They can also set it up to alert for all activity


    Set card controls

  • Members can set controls on their card that any activity specific to that control will deny the charge. This is a great feature to keep their card safe from activity they do not normally do.
  • Members can set up multiple geographical regions for “in person” transactions. This will decline transactions outside of where they normally perform “in person” transactions.
  • This can also be set up by transaction limits, Transaction type or merchant type.
    • Members have recently come in to talk about ways to monitor holiday spending. Both alerts and controls are great ways to help notify or limit spending as needed based on their budgets.
