Take Charge of Your Debit and Credit Cards With CU1 Card Keeper

Get CU1 Card Keeper, the mobile app that lets you control Debit Card and Credit Card usage and spending on the go. Monitor your accounts with your smartphone and control how, when and where your cards are used.

CU1 Card Keeper Lets You

  • Turn your cards on and off
  • Establish transaction controls for:
    • Dollar Amount Limits
    • Merchant Categories
    • Geographic Locations
  • Receive alerts when your cards are used, approved, or exceeds the transaction controls set by you
  • Stay informed of potential fraud with alerts on attempted and/or declined transactions
  • Get real-time balances for your accounts

Control Spending

If you’re trying to establish or stick to a budget, CU1 Card Keeper can help. Set spending limits or specify thresholds by merchant types such as gas, groceries or retail stores. You can also establish these controls by location. The flexible app lets you change these parameters anytime with ease via your mobile device.

Fraud Protection

Turning your Debit Card or Credit Card off when you’re not using it helps safeguard against fraud. When your card is “off”, no withdrawals or purchases will be approved. Transaction controls that allow your card to work only in specific locations or geographic areas, add another layer of protection. Real-time alerts keep you informed when your card is used or declined.

What exactly is the range of the My Location controls, and will this setting impact internet transactions?

The My Location controls and alerts will check to ensure the merchant location is within a 5-mile radius of the device set as primary within CU1 Card Keeper. These controls impact card present transactions only, therefore internet transactions are not impacted. 

back to top

If My Location is set but the primary device is off, will transactions get denied outside of the My Location area?

CU1 Card Keeper ignores location information that is more than 8 hours old. So, if the phone is off for more than 8 hours, My Location controls will not take effect, and the transaction will not be denied on the basis of the old location information. 

back to top

What happens if My Location is set but the phone is left at home? Will transactions be denied outside the My Location area?

CU1 Card Keeper performs a proximity check at the granularity of Zip code or city, so if the merchant is close to home then the transactions will still go through. 

back to top

A region has been set on the map. Does this mean the card can only be used exactly in this region?

The region shows the approximate area where the card can be used; the area must be greater than 5 square miles. CU1 Card Keeper can typically map the transaction down to a ZIP code or city. If the city or ZIP code of the merchant overlaps with the selected region in the map, then the transaction can still go through. There are instances where a merchant location cannot be mapped down to a ZIP code or city, in which case CU1 Card Keeper will default to a state-level match. 

back to top

Can I block all international transactions?

Yes. International transactions can be blocked using the Block International location control. Transactions will be limited to the United States. 

back to top

Does Block International also block Internet transactions?

No. The location controls are applicable to in-store transactions only. 

back to top

Will location controls, merchant controls, threshold controls, and turning the card off impact previously authorized recurring transactions?

Previously authorized recurrent payments will continue to process and will bypass the CU1 Card Keeper edit checks.

back to top

Are the alerts sent as email or push notifications to the device?

CU1 Card Keeper alerts are sent as push notifications to the phone. The alerts also display under Messages in the CU1 Card Keeper app.
