Card Controls
Your Debit Card's ON-OFF Switch
Protect yourself against fraud and monitor the purchases made with your CAP COM Visa® debit card. Taking control is simple with Card Controls. Turn off your card temporarily, set limits on debit card spending, and track activity with real-time alerts.
The power of Card Controls is that you can set restrictions on your debit card instantly, then reverse them on demand, in real-time.
Why Use Card Controls
If you misplace your card, turn it off temporarily for peace of mind – so it can’t be used to make purchases or ATM withdrawals by someone else. When you find your card, turn it back on.
If you believe your card is lost or stolen, call (844) 228-8853.
Customize alerts to notify you about any Debit Card activity you specified in your Card Controls. The alerts will be sent by email or text, according to the Alert & Notifications preferences you set up for your CAP COM account.
If you tend to use your Debit Card to buy certain items but not others, you can specify transaction types in Card Controls. For example, you might choose to use your Debit Card for groceries and household items, but disable travel-related purchases (until you need them).
You can use Card Controls to disable certain ways of paying. For example, if you rarely use your Debit Card to make an online purchase, turn it off until you do. Set restrictions on numerous transaction types: ATMs, checkouts in stores, recurring automatic payments, etc.
Use Card Controls as your personal budget coach to keep your spending in check. The Spend Limits feature allows you to maintain spending below any dollar amount that you set.
You can limit your Debit Card to U.S. purchases only. And lift those restrictions when you travel abroad.
