Life happens and sometimes you misplace your card for JUST a moment. You know it’s around, but you aren’t exactly sure where. That’s where card controls help! Card Controls allow you to take control of your debit card with alerts and ability to lock and unlock your card when you’ve temporarily misplaced it.
Card Activity Alerts
Don’t let a single swipe go unnoticed. With card activity alerts from Community West, you’ll be notified via text message or email every time your card is swiped, making it easy to monitor card usage from wherever you are. You can choose to enable activity alerts such as transactions exceeding a certain amount, or purchases made online.
Lost or Stolen Card
If you believe you have temporarily misplaced your debit card or credit card, you can “lock” your card using the lock feature in the CWCU Cards Mobile App. This feature is accessible by pressing the green lock icon on the image of your card inside the app. Once you find your card, you can “unlock” the card by pressing the red lock icon on the image of your card.
To report a lost or stolen debit card or credit card, call 1-866-820-5878. You may also report your card lost or stolen using the CWCU Cards Mobile App.
