How It Works:

CardLock enables cardholders to directly control whether to block or not block a transaction from proceeding. When a cardholder locks their account with CardLock, any attempt to authorize a transaction on that account will be declined and no charge will occur. In addition, the cardholder will get a call or alert from the fraud department that a transaction has been attempted on their locked account.

Note: Recurring transactions, such as a fitness club membership, will not be declined, even if the cardholder has locked the account.

You may lock and unlock your account via phone or CardLock’s web site.
