FAQs

  • There is no limit.

  • If the card number is new, then yes, you must add the new card number to your Digital Banking. You can also unmanage the old card.

  • 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 debit card controls. These controls impact card-present transactions only, therefore internet transactions are not impacted.

  • CU1 Debit Card controls 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.

  • CU1 Debit Card Controls perform 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.

  • The region shows the approximate area where the card can be used; the area must be greater than 5 square miles. CU1 Debit Card Controls 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 Debit Card Controls will default to a state-level match.
