Yes; cardholders can register multiple cards within a single CardValet app. Additional cards can be added within the “Settings - Add Card” screen.

You can download the card on multiple devices but are requested to indicate which device is “primary.” What is the purpose of assigning a primary device? Can you make changes to the settings from the non-primary devices?

The primary device tracks the GPS for “My Location” alerts and controls and all merchant and threshold alerts will be sent to the primary device. All devices registered with a particular card can view or change the CardValet settings for that card. Controls (including the “On/Off” setting) are set at the card level, so the last update to a control will be honored regardless of which phone was used to make the change. Alerts are set at the device level, so each primary device will receive alerts that were set up from that particular device. The primary device can be reset by accessing “Settings - Primary Device.”


The region shows the approximate area where the card can be used. CardValet can typically map the transaction down to a zip code or city. If the city or zip code of the merchant overlaps with the selected region in the map, then the transaction can still go through. There are instances where a merchant location cannot be mapped down to a zip code or city, in which case CardValet will default to a state-level match.

CardValet alerts are sent as push notifications to the phone. The alerts also display under “Messages” in the CardValet app.

Yes. International transactions can be blocked using the “International” location control. Transactions will be limited to the United States.

Specific merchant types have been created within CardValet, and these merchant types can be used for controls or alerts via the “Alert Preferences” or “Control Preferences” screen. Each of the merchant types contain various merchant category codes (MCC). Please note that it is possible for a retailer to forward a MCC that may differ from the CardValet merchant type classification. Merchant types currently supported include: Department Stores; Entertainment; Gas Stations; Grocery; Household; Personal Care; Restaurants; Travel; and Others.

There are some merchant types where a merchant will pre-authorize the card for an amount that may be larger than the actual transaction amount. In this instance the pre-authorization amount must meet the threshold spend limit.

CardValet only shows the transactions that are performed with the card. It does not show the transactions that are done on the account but without using your card, such as teller transactions or bill pay on an account.

When a cardholder logs on to the CardValet application, a Balance Inquiry transaction is performed to retrieve and display the balance. A balance inquiry is performed on every account listed in the cardholder record. The application will not initiate more than one balance inquiry within 30 minutes even if the cardholder presses the Refresh button.
