Suitable for small businesses, the CardValet is equipped with on/off feature. Additionally, geographic use restrictions can be activated using the GPS system in the smartphone.
Moreover, the cardholders can control usage of their debit card by merchant and set spending limit. In order to boost the fraud protection, the app offers real time alerts informing the cardholder that a transaction was attempted, declined, or both.
Further, CardValet gives cardholders the capability of connecting additional accounts to better monitor dependent spending.
Using CardValet, all transactions can be monitored or controlled for specific merchant categories, including travel, restaurants or entertainment, and can be denied or reported for types of merchants deemed not business related.
