New card management features in Traditions Bank Online Banking

New features are now available in Traditions Bank Online Banking

Customers with personal debit cards at Traditions Bank can now access many of the same security features and benefits in Online Banking as the Traditions Bank Mobile Banking app.

Even when cards are secured in a purse or wallet, there are daily security breaches that expose confidential financial information.

With online banking card management features, you can be sure to have more control over your card.

Card On/Card Off – Leave your card in a restaurant or store? Logging into Online or Mobile Banking lets you turn your card off for all purchases and ensures the card cannot be used for unauthorized purchases. When you find the card, you can log back into Online or Mobile Banking and turn the card on for purchases.

New Controls and Alerts – With the card features in Mobile and Online Banking, you can set special controls and alerts to identify out-of-the-ordinary purchases by location, merchant type, transaction types, and spending limits.

The “My Location” feature will check if you are near the merchant where the card is being use, and is only available in the Mobile Banking app. While the “My Region” feature will check geographic boundaries and works in both Online Banking and the Mobile Banking app. The transaction will only clear if the in-person transaction meets all your control preferences.

“Merchant Controls” allows you to select which merchant types are allowed for transactions on your card. Examples of merchant types include department stores, entertainment, gas, etc.

“Transaction Controls” shows what transaction types are approved for your card, for example, in-store, online, and autopay transactions.

With “Spend Controls” you can cap your spending to stay on budget by setting your transaction and spending limits.

Add Travel Plans – Heading out of state or out of the country? Let us know of any travel plans by clicking “Add Travel Plans”. You can add your destination, the day you arrive, and when you will be home. This is all we need to ensure your funds are available on your trip.

Track Recurring Payments – Have you subscribed to many services you are unsure of when you get charged? Under “Recurring Payments” you can view all the merchants storing your card for a subscription service. The “Card on File” tab highlights every merchant that has stored your card for future use (e.g., online shopping, ridesharing, food delivery). This ensures that only trusted merchants have your data!

Add Cards to your digital wallet – Easily add cards to Apple Pay or Google Pay by tapping “Add to Apple Pay” or “Add to Google Pay”. You will be brought outside your mobile app to your operating system’s interface where your card’s information is pre-filled. All you need to do is tap “Next” to add it to your digital wallet. To set it as your default card for digital purchases, tap “Use as Default Card.”
