Card Valet Give You the Power to Protect Against Debit and Credit Card Fraud


The recent Equifax breach proves that anyone and everyone is vulnerable when it comes to ID theft and credit card fraud. It is important for all consumers to become proactive in both protecting and monitoring their information and accounts.

Lake Ridge Bank offers a powerful tool called CardValet to help our customers better protect and manage their credit and debit cards.
 

CardValet Helps Monitor AND Prevent Fraud

CardValet is an app on your mobile phone that can add extra protection for your Lake Ridge Bank credit and debit cards. Features include:

  • Turn your Lake Ridge Bank debit and credit cards “on” or “off” at any time using your mobile phone. No one can use your cards when they are “off.” Turn them back “on” when you’re ready to use them for instant access.
  • Set up alerts to receive notification whenever your cards are used.
  • Define areas where your card can be used. Areas can be defined geographically (specify your zip code or your region) or can be regulated within a certain distance from your mobile phone location (you have to be “with” your card for it to work).
  • Limit purchases by type of merchant. You can make purchases at gas stations and grocery stores possible, but “turn off” the ability to use your card online or at electronics stores, for example, unless you give specific permission. Personalize CardValet to your own spending habits.
  • Set limits on dollar amounts. Want to protect yourself against large purchases if your card information is stolen? Select a limit per transaction.
  • All features can be changed instantly, enabling you to make adjustments to accommodate travel or unusual one-time purchases. You can also set up alerts so you can monitor your accounts in real time for suspicious activity, helping to shut down fraudulent activity immediately.

More than Fraud Protection

CardValet offers a variety of features that go beyond fraud protection to simply help you manage your spending. For instance:

  • Manage your budget. Trying to stay on budget for groceries or clothes? Set spending thresholds, specify merchant types and turn your cards on and off.
  • Set different parameters on each card. Each card entered into your CardValet app can be set up with individual limits or controls…perfect for parents and employers!
  • Review balances and transactions. Monitor your finances anytime, anywhere to check account balances or review recent card transactions.
