CASE Credit Union is pleased to introduce Card Control®, a mobile card management application that helps reduce fraud by allowing cardholders to monitor accounts with their smartphone and control how, when and where their card is used. Card Control was developed in partnership with Fiserv and is available in the Apple® App Store or Google® Play. Once Card Control is set up, cardholders have the ability to "turn off" their card when not in use, establish transaction spending limits and decline a transaction when the amount exceeds a predefined threshold. Real-time smartphone alerts can be customized based on the types of information each cardholder would like to receive. For example, a cardholder can set up an alert to be notified when a card is used, when a transaction is approved and exceeds any of the permitted use policies, or when a card transaction has been attempted but has been declined based on the parameters established. Card Control offers cardholders the capability of linking additional accounts to better monitor dependent spending. For example, by using the GPS system in their smart phone, geographic use restrictions can be established for college students along with restrictions on merchant type and spending limits. Card Control is also ideal for small businesses. Business owners have the ability to turn cards off when not in use, establish spending limits to allow transactions up to a certain dollar value, and decline transactions when amounts exceed predefined thresholds. Additionally, all transactions can be monitored or controlled for specific merchant categories, such as travel, restaurants or entertainment, and can be denied or reported for types of merchants deemed not business-related. |
