Pause & Close

Privacy Cards Anytime

Proactively protect against fraudulent charges by pausing or closing a Privacy Card anytime, anywhere without impacting your other cards.

How It Works

Pausing a Card

Pausing a card temporarily stops transactions from taking place. You can resume or unpause the card at any point.

Closing a Card

Closing a card is a permanent action that will prevent all future transactions from taking place.

When to Pause or Close your Privacy Cards

Compromised Merchants

If you learn of a data breach at a merchant you've shopped with, close the card immediately to ensure it can't be used fraudulently.

Suspicious Activity

Notice a charge you don’t recognize? Pause the card while you investigate further.

Lost or Stolen Devices

If your phone, tablet, or computer is lost or stolen, pause your cards to ensure they can't be used without your knowledge.

Card Sharing

For cards you’ve shared with family or friends, pause them when they’re not in use to prevent accidental or unauthorized charges.

Managing Subscriptions

While reaching out to cancel a subscription you no longer need, close the card tied to the subscription to prevent recurring charges from slipping through.

Peace of Mind

Pause your card whenever you’re not actively using it for an added layer of security against unexpected or fraudulent transactions.
