Manage your debit card right from within Online Banking or on the Essex Bank Mobile App. Lock/unlock your cards, report them lost/stolen, set additional alerts and protections, all with a few quick simple clicks or taps.
Essex card controls gives you control over how, when and where your card is used. This feature lets you easily monitor your debit card transactions with specfic alerts and limits on spending by merchant type (grocery, gas, personal care, etc.) or by transaction type (online, in-store, subscription, etc.).
Have you ever misplaced your debit card? Essex Bank debit card controls provides peace of mind by giving you the ability to lock and unlock your card so it cannot be used while you look for it.
Easily set notifications to alert you whenever your debit card is used to make a purchase. You decide how to be notified (text, email, app notification), whether it is for a purchase above a certain dollar amount or a purchase at a specific type of merchant. Our card controls deliver alerts directly to your iOS or Android mobile device for real-time notification of transactions based on your set preferences.
Whereas card notifications only alert you of card activity, card limits can be created to block certain types of transactions based on criteria you set. Setting limits can help you control your card’s use and prevent possible fraudulent transactions from occurring.
