Stay Informed with Card Controls & Alerts
Stay informed and in control with real-time Card Controls. This Digital Banking feature allows you to lock or unlock your Empeople debit card, set limits for transaction amounts and merchant types, and let us know when and where you’re traveling.
Customize alerts to ensure you’re on top of your transactions. Set text or email alerts for balance thresholds, transaction types, transactions at certain merchants or locations, and other activity.
Fraud Alerts help you manage your account activity and quickly identify potentially fraudulent transactions. When you provide us with your mobile number, we will automatically sign you up to receive automated alerts to your mobile device using text messaging and/or digital voice phone calls.
Shop, Tap, Done.
Take debit card security to another level with contactless pay. It’s easy – just tap your card where contactless pay is available. Add your Empeople debit card to your favorite digital wallet for even more convenience.
