Card Control Services

Overview

Our card control services allow you to manage your customers' cards with ease, providing an extra layer of security and flexibility. You can set custom limits on transactions for each card, such as daily or weekly limits, and even limit transactions to specific merchant categories or locations.

In the event of a lost or stolen card, our platform allows you to quickly block the card to prevent fraudulent transactions. You can also unblock the card when it's found or issue a replacement card directly through the platform.

With our real-time transaction monitoring, you can track your customers' card usage and receive instant alerts for suspicious or unauthorized transactions. This allows you to take immediate action to prevent fraud and protect your customers' accounts.
