Frequently Asked Questions about Card Controls for Credit Cards

Can I use the Card Controls widget now?

Yes! The Card Controls widget is available in SLFCU online and mobile banking in the menu for use.

Will my enrollment in Card Lock carry over to the new system?

No. You will need to enroll and set your alert preferences in the Card Controls widget once it is available. Any preferences you currently have saved in Card Lock will be lost.

Can I use Card Controls with my business credit card?

If you have a personal online banking login, you can see your business credit card in the Card Controls widget alongside your personal card(s). If you do not have a personal online banking account, you cannot access Card Controls for your business credit card. To apply for a personal SLFCU account, click here.

Can I use the Card Controls widget to change the daily limits on my credit card?

No. At this time you cannot set custom daily limits on your credit card.

What types of alerts are available for my credit card?

You can choose to receive SMS text or email alerts for your SLFCU credit card. Push alerts are not available at this time for credit cards, but are planned as a future enhancement.

Will I receive an alert when a credit card transaction occurs and another when it posts to my card?

No. Credit card transactions will only generate one alert. If you have credit card alerts turned on, you will receive an alert as soon as the transaction occurs.

Please note: If you have credit card alerts turned off at the time a transaction occurs, but turn them on before the transaction posts to your card, you will receive a transaction alert at approximately 2:00 a.m. when the transaction posts to the card.

I didn’t receive an alert for a transaction that occurred on my credit card. Why?

Depending on the dollar amount selected for alerts, you may not receive an alert for all transactions. To verify your selected alert threshold, open the Card Control widget and swipe left to find your credit card. Click on Update Alert Thresholds. A blue vertical line will appear on the left side of your selected threshold. You can change your preference by selecting the threshold you’d like and clicking Save Preferences.

If a transaction for a dollar amount above your selected threshold has occurred, and you did not receive an alert, please call us at 505.293.0500 or 800.947.5328.

I have more than one credit card. Will alerts show the last four digits of my card number?

Yes, the last 4 digits of the card number will appear in the alerts you receive.

My email or phone number does not appear as an option for receiving alerts.

To update your information from a desktop computer, log in to online banking and click the down arrow next to your name in the upper right corner. Then, click Settings and select the Contact tab.
