Wescom cardholders have more control over their card than ever. Now you can automatically decline transactions from certain merchants and transaction types by setting up “Transaction Controls” in eBranch. Based on what you choose, your card will be blocked from authorizations at any of the following places:
“Each person uses their credit and debit cards uniquely to enhance their lifestyle. Card controls allows you to grant access to your cards according to your specific needs while shutting down access you do not want to allow,” said Kathy Warner, Wescom Director of Card Services.
Not only do Transaction Controls give you control over what transactions hit your account, they can also help prevent fraud by blocking unintended transactions.
“You can put up a virtual wall of protection around your account by blocking transactions you never plan to make. If someone attempts a transaction using your card number at a blocked location, they will be shut out,” said Kathy.
The most convenient part: you can turn on and off your Transaction Controls at any time and the change will happen right away.
