Once the SecurLOCK Equip app is downloaded and you have entered your card information, we recommend turning on the My Location and International controls.

CONTROLS & ALERTS

Once I register my cards, how do I begin managing and monitoring my payment activity?
You can begin using the service immediately following registration. When turning the card off, the little green button in the top right corner of the card image will turn to red. This means that all transactions (except recurring) will be declined. When ready to make a purchase, you can turn the card back on instantly.

In addition to the card on/off function, you can start selectively setting controls and alerts by channel (in-store, online, mobile, ATM, etc.). You can also set transaction spend limits, select geographic locations where the card can be used, set specific merchant categories, view recent transaction history, receive real-time alerts and much more.
 
What is a real-time alert?
A real-time alert is an immediate notification sent to the app. You can select to be alerted on all your payment transactions including recurring payments with real-time alerts. Or, you can select to receive just Preferred Alerts or no alerts at all by disabling alerts completely.

What are Preferred Alerts?
Preferred Alerts can be customized by location, transaction type, merchant type, and/or threshold amount, so you only receive the alerts you need.

How do you disable all alerts?
You can disable all alerts by selecting "Alert Preferences" and set the “send alerts for” section to “none”.

How long does it take for a control or alert setting to take effect?
It happens immediately after you set and save the option. 

My alerts are supposed to notify me of every transaction, but I am not receiving them.
Only the primary device will receive alerts. Use the "Settings" menu in the app to set your device as the primary device.
Another common reason for not receiving alerts is due to your mobile device’s notification settings for the SecurLOCK Equip app. If notifications are turned off at the operating system level for the app, SecurLOCK Equip will not be able to deliver alerts to your device.

Can I set a control higher than First State Bank’s spend limit?
No, standard limits set by First State Bank take precedence over any controls set within SecurLOCK Equip. If you do need to temporarily increase your debit card limit, please call us at 601-671-2095.

Can I use "My Location", "My Region", and "International" at the same time?
"My Location" and "My Region" can work independently or together, but they cannot be used in conjunction with "International". If travelling, you still need to contact First State Bank to avoid any interruptions. 

I turned my card on and set "My Location" but my transaction was still declined. Why?
In the app, go to "Recent Transactions" and find the one that was denied and open it. Tap the image so it rotates, and the control(s) that were evoked during the authorization will be listed near the bottom. The transaction could also be declined because of external factors like non-sufficient funds or fraud monitoring. SecurLOCK Equip will not display these external factors. For more information on why a transaction was declined for reasons other than SecurLOCK Equip card controls, please contact First State Bank.
 

 MANAGING THE APP

How do I access the menu or log out?
Press the icon in the top right corner that has three stacked lines in a circle to reach the menu. From here, you can click “Log Out” which will be at the bottom of the menu.
 
I only want to manage one of my cards, but they're all being displayed.
To select the card(s) you wish to manage, go to the menu and select "Manage Portfolio". Then uncheck the card(s) you don't want to manage. Once a card is "un-managed", controls and alerts can no longer be set for that card. Cards can be (un)managed at any time.

I received a new card number. Will it be automatically updated in the app?
You will have to add the new card to the app. This can be done by going to "Manage Portfolio" and adding the card. Be sure to “unmanage’ the old card.

How do I begin managing and monitoring my payment activity?
By turning the card off, the green button in the top right corner of the card image will turn red. This means that all transactions (except for recurring) will be declined. When ready to make a purchase, simply turn the card back on.

After you become comfortable with the on/off function, you can start selectively setting controls by channel (in-store, online, mobile, ATM, etc.). You can also set transaction spend limits, select geographic locations where the card can be used, set specific merchant categories, view recent transaction history, receive real-time alerts, and much more.

How long will my transaction history display for?
The last 50 transactions will display in the app for 30 calendar days. 

My pending purchase is showing more than I paid. Why?
Some merchants send pre-authorizations at higher amounts to test the card's validity. For example, a $25 gas purchase might display as a larger dollar amount. Pre-authorizations are common at gas stations, hotels, or with car rentals. Even though the charge is listed in the app for more, it will clear your account for the correct amount.

By turning my card off am I closing my account?
No. Using the card controls does not change the status of your account.

If I have my card turned off will my recurring transactions go through?
Yes. Recurring merchant transactions will be approved. 

What if I get a new phone? How do I begin using the service again?
Simply download the app to your new smartphone and login with your current user id and password. Your control preferences will remain in place, but your alert preferences will need to be reset.
 
What if my smartphone is stolen? How secure is the app?
A password is required to login to the app. Additionally, the app does not store personal information on your mobile device and will only ever display the last four digits of your card number.
