Set Card Limits

Clicking the ‘Set Card Limits’ tab will bring you to the page in the below screenshot.

Set Region Limit

Clicking on the Set Region Limit tab will bring you to the Set Region Page, as shown in the screenshot below. The default map coordinates on this page are customizable. Enabling the ‘Block transactions outside of your radius’ control will prevent your card from being used outside the geographic region specified in the location/address textbox. You can edit the radius of the circle beyond the selected region. This only applies to in-store locations, not ecommerce transactions.

Block Merchant Types

Clicking ‘Block Merchant Types’ will present you with a list of merchant type controls that you can enable. Enabling them will prevent transactions for the selected merchant type. These controls apply to both in-store and e-commerce transactions. In the example all merchant types other than ‘Department Stores’ will be blocked.

Block International Transactions

Setting the ‘Block International Transaction’ control will block all physical international transactions. E-Commerce transactions are not declined when this control is enabled.

Block Transaction Types

Clicking ‘Block Merchant Types’ will present you with a list of transaction type controls that you can enable. Enabling them will prevent transactions for the selected transaction type. Options: ATM, E-Commerce, In-Store & Mail/Phone Order

Set Transaction Amount Limit

Clicking ‘Set Transaction Limit’ brings you to the page where you can set a max limit for a card transaction. If a purchase or ATM transaction is over the amount set, it is declined. Transaction amount limits apply to online e-commerce transactions as well as in-store transactions and ATM withdrawals.

Block Card

Toggling the Block Card option on the Main Card Valet page will deactivate the card selected in the Card Carousel. When a card is blocked, new purchases and ATM transactions are declined. Teller transactions, existing pending transactions, and recurring transactions are not blocked. The cardholder can easily remove the block on the card at any time. Changes to the control settings take effect immediately.
