For your added convenience, we encourage you to consider managing your accounts using our online and mobile banking options – enabling you to complete your banking needs without having to leave the comfort of your home or vehicle.

One of these features is the CardValet app offered on both iTunes and Google Play.  Use this app along with your Security Bank & Trust Company mobile app to help control and monitor card usage anywhere, anytime using your mobile phone. With CardValet you can protect your card from fraud by setting alerts or place controls to determine how your card can be used. And, if you misplace your card, you can use the app to turn it off and then turn it back on when you find it!

Just because the name has changed, doesn't mean any of the other great features of the app are changing. Besides being able to turn your card on and off you can still set transaction limits for everyone in your household. Do you have a teenager that tends to become carried away on their video game spending? Or someone who needs help controlling their clothes spending allowance?  The CardValet App allows you to help by setting transaction limits on how much is allowed to be spent! This is a great way to control spending overall.

Location Controls

Your phone travels everywhere you do, so should your card. You can still create and set the region(s) you want your card to work. You can even enable location controls that allow in-store transactions only in presence of your primary device. This helps ensure your card is only used where you are!

Merchant Controls

Need help sticking to the essentials on your shopping list (think Target). You can help control that impulse spending by using the merchant controls!  You can set which merchants you would like to use your card including department stores, restaurants, gas stations and more.

Transaction Controls

Not an online shopper? Don’t allow your card to shop online either but setting transaction limits!  By blocking all e-commerce transactions using our transaction controls you are protected.  Now you determine what types of transactions are allowed on your card before they happen.

Remember, if you card is ever lost or stolen, CardValet is a great first step to take to shield your card from fraudulent activity.  Please don’t forget to immediately get in touch with us to report your missing card.  You can easily do this by visiting a local branch or by calling 800.264.5578 or 952-944-6050.
