Take control of your debit card with CardValet.

CardValet is a smartphone app that allows cardholders to take safely and conveniently control their debit card. You can perform these functions, and much more, with this innovative application:

  • Turn card on and off. When card is “off”, no purchases or withdrawals will be approved except for previously scheduled recurring payments.
  • Set a location boundary. Where the card can only be used, such as your hometown, or a city where you are travelling.
  • Restrict card activity. Your card is active only within 5-mile radius of your current location, so the card can only be used in your vicinity, and nowhere else.
  • Restrict card transactions for specific merchants. For example, enable grocery store purchases while turning off restaurants.
  • Schedule instant alerts. You will be sent a notification each time the card is used.
  • Check your balances and review transactions.
  • And so much more!
