Why do they need my email address?
Your email address is needed in case you forget your password and need to reset it.

Currently I call the bank when I plan to travel so that my card is placed on “travel alert” status.  Will I still need to do that?
Yes. SecurLOCK will not set up a travel alert status for you. When you travel outside the area, and you want to ensure that your card is not stopped by our fraud monitoring system, you still need to call the bank before you travel.

What is a real-time alert?
It is an immediate notification sent to the app. You can choose to be alerted on all your payment transactions including recurring payments or you can select just preferred transactions. Preferred alerts are available by spend limits, location, transaction type and merchant category.

If I have my card turned off, will my recurring transactions go through?
Yes. Your merchant recurring transactions (Think “Netflix,” or “Pikepass” or “mortgage”) will be approved. Additionally, you can choose to receive alerts on recurring transactions as well.

What is my locations?
When it’s turned on, the “My Location” setting in SecurLOCK requires that your phone and your debit card must be within eight miles of each other. This is a security feature that would stop point-of-sale transactions if the card is separated from you by eight miles. The card would still work for you at an ATM, however. If your phone is turned off or the battery runs dead, this service will not be affected.

Why would I want to set “My Regions”?
This feature can limit by City or zipcode the area in which your card can be used. My Regions is a useful but complicated feature. You’ll want to read more information available from SecurLOCK before turning on “My Regions.”

I turned my card on and set My Location.  I was at the merchant, and my transaction was still declined. Why?
In the app go to Transactions, find the one that was denied and open it, tap the image so it rotates and the control(s) that were evoked during the authorization will be listed near the bottom.  The transaction could also be declined because of external factors like non-sufficient funds or fraud monitoring.

What are Alert Preferences?
Alert preferences let you know every time a card transaction is attempted. You can be alerted for all or preferred transactions. Preferred alerts are also available by location, transaction type, merchant type, and threshold amount.
