Card Controls
At Bankers Trust, your financial security is one of our top priorities. Card controls allow you to take your security to the next level, by giving you the flexibility to choose how you restrict or allow access to your Bankers Trust debit cards. Managed through your mobile banking app, card controls are easy to use for one or multiple Bankers Trust cards, and can help you monitor spending, reduce fraud and maintain your finances.
Card Control Features

This allows you to disable your card from use if it has been lost or stolen. When the card is turned off, all transactions, with the exception of recurring payments, will be declined.
Limit locations
Block international transactions or assign geographic regions where your card can be used.
Transaction controls*
You can choose to allow only certain types of transactions, such as in-store, online, ATM, mail/phone order and more.

Set a dollar limit for transactions on your card. When the dollar limit is exceeded, the transaction will be declined.
Set up alerts
Use alert preferences, tailored to your spending patterns, to notify you of purchases through the app. Alert preferences are divided into four categories: Locations, Merchant Types, Transaction Types and Spending Limits.
Benefits of Card Controls
The Bankers Trust card controls tool provides a number of benefits:
- Monitor your spending or the spending of minors whose accounts you oversee.
- Reduce fraud by preventing the card to be used at stores, locations and more that are outside your normal spending habits.
- Manage your finances by setting a daily dollar limit to help keep your budget in check.
How Card Controls Work
Card controls can be accessed directly from your Bankers Trust mobile app. Once you have logged in to the app, tap the card icon in the top right corner, or from the “More” menu select “Cards.” This will take you to the main card controls screen, which will show your eligible debit and credit cards, and give you the option to turn the card on or off, or choose other usage settings. Under Preferences, you’ll see options to set specific card controls, including locations, transactions, merchants and spending limits.
