Northwest Bank Card Secure 3.9.2

Northwest Bank Card Secure offers an innovative approach to enhancing the security of debit card transactions through its user-friendly app. After downloading it to your smartphone, users can establish personalized preferences for ongoing monitoring and management of their cards.

Alerts for Safe Card Usage

The app provides real-time alerts for both PIN and signature transactions, empowering users to stay informed about their card activity. This feature is pivotal in promptly detecting any unauthorized or fraudulent transactions.

Location-Based Controls and Alerts

Utilizing your phone’s GPS, the app allows you to restrict transactions to merchants within a specified geographical area, which can be defined by city, state, country, or zip code on an interactive map. This capability enhances security by ensuring that transactions only occur in familiar locations.

Usage Controls and Alerts

Northwest Bank Card Secure enables users to set spending limits that automatically decline transactions exceeding predetermined thresholds. Additionally, users can monitor their spending activity across various categories, including gas stations and restaurants, and by transaction type—covering in-store purchases, e-commerce activities, and ATM withdrawals.

Card On/Off Setting

An important feature of this service is the ability to toggle the card between "on" and "off" statuses. With the card set to "on," transactions proceed according to established preferences. Conversely, switching the card "off" halts all purchases or withdrawals until reactivated. This setting serves as an effective tool for disabling a lost or stolen card, thereby mitigating the risk of fraudulent activity.
