Thanks to an idea shared by @shayzyme, and the support of the MIX community, BECU members are now able to pause and unpause debit cards via Online Banking.
Here’s How It Works
You’re able to pause and unpause your debit card whenever you want by visiting Online Banking. It’s not yet available in the Mobile App, but you can access it by going to Online Banking>Account Services>Pause Your Debit Card. This feature works with any business or consumer ATM or Debit card.
Things to Keep in Mind
This feature is great for when you have temporarily misplaced your card, and you know it’s in a safe place. Your card remains paused until you unpause the card using Online Banking.
Keep in mind, if you have pre-authorized recurring transactions, they could continue to post to your account. But if a pre-authorized recurring transaction is rejected due to the paused status on your card, you will be responsible for any late fees that result.
Pausing your card doesn’t notify BECU that your card is lost or stolen. If you don’t know where your card is, contact BECU immediately.
