Our banking world is one of convenience, where many transactions are processed using debit cards. While this may eliminate the need to carry cash, it also increases the risk of identity theft, and thus fraudulent activity – debit cards stolen, PIN numbers compromised, unauthorized charges processed.

LockNBlock makes it easier and faster for members to protect their accounts as they will no longer have to call their credit union or visit a branch to lock their debit card if it’s misplaced. However, if it is lost or stolen please LockNBlock and then let us know.
