At Community First Bank, keeping your money safe is our priority. That’s why we’ve built powerful and convenient online and mobile banking tools designed to put you in control of your debit card—anytime and anywhere. With just a few clicks, you can monitor, manage, and protect your card from fraud.

Here are a few tools of the tools you can use to help keep your money safe:

Set Spending Limits – Stay on budget and reduce the risk of unauthorized charges by choosing the dollar amount your card can spend per transaction or per day.

Restrict Certain Retailers – Control where your card can be used by blocking transactions from specific merchant categories.

Report Lost or Stolen Cards – Misplaced your card? Quickly report it through online banking to prevent fraud before it starts. Choose “My card is lost” and your card will only be able to make deposits. If you choose “My card was stolen” it will deactivate your card completely, and any one-time or recurring transactions will be blocked.

Activate Your Card – New card in hand? Activate it securely through online banking or the mobile app—no phone call required. Simply click “Activate card” to confirm you’ve received it and are ready to begin using your card.

Set Travel Alerts – Heading out of town? Put an alert on your debit card to inform us that you will be traveling. This can prevent your card from being blocked or deactivated as a fraud prevention measure. Click on the airplane icon to set your travel details.

These convenient tools mean you don’t have to wait until “business hours” to act. Your debit card protection is always at your fingertips putting you in control.

At Community First Bank, we strive to be first for you in everything we do.
