Advanced Card Controls
Advanced Card Controls live right inside your upgraded Digital Banking experience. Log in online or through the Cabrillo Mobile App to customize how your cards behave, with changes taking effect almost instantly.
Instant Card On/Off
Misplace your card? Turn it off with a tap to prevent new purchases. Find it again? Turn it back on just as quickly. It’s an easy way to add an extra layer of protection between you and potential fraud.
Transaction Controls
Decide which types of transactions are allowed on your cards. Enable or disable in-store, online, ATM, or international purchases, giving you more control over how your card is used.
Region & Location Controls
Set up custom regions where your card can be used. By choosing trusted geographic areas, you can help reduce the risk of unauthorized activity in places you don’t normally visit.
Merchant Controls
Fine-tune where your money goes by selecting which merchant types are allowed, such as groceries, gas, restaurants, travel, or entertainment. It’s a powerful way to align your card usage with your priorities.
Spending Limits
Create custom spending limits to help manage your budget and reduce risk. Set dollar thresholds per transaction or per day to prevent large or unexpected charges before they happen.
Real-Time Updates
Once you save your preferences, your card settings update in near real time. That means the controls you choose — from spending limits to allowed regions — are applied right away.
Travel Alertrs
Heading out of town? Travel Alerts help ensure your card keeps working smoothly, whether you’re traveling across the country or around the world.
Share Your Travel Plans
Before your trip, simply add a Travel Notice in Digital Banking. Let us know your travel dates, destinations, and which cards you’ll be using so we can better recognize your transactions while you’re away.
Reduce Card Interruptions
When we know you’re traveling, we can help minimize the chance of your card being flagged for unusual activity. That means fewer interruptions and more time enjoying your trip.
- Enter your travel start and end dates
- Select the cards you’ll be using on your trip
- Add destinations and contact information
- Submit your notice and receive confirmation
Once your Travel Alert is in place, you’ll see a confirmation showing that your plans have been added. You can update or remove your notice at any time.
Subscription Alerts
Subscription Alerts (Advanced Card Alerts) let you personalize the security on your Cabrillo cards. Turn on alerts for international or out-of-region purchases, specific merchant categories, transaction types, or spending limits. Alerts are delivered to the channels you choose, helping you catch unusual activity fast.
Card Controls Overview
Card Controls, Travel Alerts, and Subscription Alerts are all about giving you more confidence and flexibility in how you use your cards.
Stronger Security
Instantly lock a card, restrict certain transaction types, or limit where your card can be used. These tools help protect against unauthorized purchases and give you more say in how your card works.
Better Budgeting
Spending limits and merchant controls can support your budget and spending goals. Use them to keep everyday purchases in check and prevent overspending.
Everyday Convenience
Make changes anytime, from anywhere, using your phone or computer. There’s no need to call or visit a branch — your controls live right inside your Digital Banking experience.
