Texas Regional Bank launched CardValet™ today, a mobile card management app that helps our customers monitor and control how, when and where their cards are used. “This new app empowers our customers to protect their debit card from fraudulent or unapproved use through a simple mobile phone app,” said Paul Moxley, CEO.

CardValet can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Using CardValet, cardholders can turn their card off when their card is not in use, establish spending limits to allow transactions up to a certain dollar value and decline transactions when amounts exceed predefined thresholds. In addition, transactions can be monitored or controlled for specific merchant categories, such as travel, restaurants, or entertainment, and can be denied or reported for specific types of merchants.
Alerts can also be established to inform cardholders of specific types of transactions. CardValet can send an alert when a card is used, when a transaction is approved and exceeds any of the permitted use policies, or when a card transaction has been attempted but has been declined based on the parameters established. Cardholders will also be able to monitor accounts with linked access such as dependent or small business accounts.
