Safeguard your Credit and Debit Cards with the SecurLock Equip App

The release of CardSuite Lite has been postponed until early 2025 to provide more time for preparation and implementation of the upcoming upgrade.

SecurLOCK Equip is a mobile app that provides cutting-edge fraud protection by offering 100% real-time transaction monitoring. This innovative tool gives users the power to stop fraudulent activity in its tracks, preventing unauthorized charges or suspicious transactions before they can cause any harm. With SecurLOCK Equip, you can view each transaction as it occurs in real time on your smartphone. This is a game-changer when it comes to safeguarding your accounts and personal information. 

What is required to use it?

SecurLOCK Equip requires you to have a credit and debit card account issued from TopMark FCU.   You will also need an Apple or Android smartphone. After downloading the app, you will be instructed to enter your full account number and then other authentication information. Once registered you can begin using the app immediately.

How do I get the SecurLOCK Equip app?
It is simple. If you have an iPhone just download the app from the Apple store. If you have an Android phone, you download the app from the Google Play store. Once the app has successfully downloaded to your smartphone, you can begin to register your cards. 

Is there a fee to use the app?
No. It is provided to you FREE for you to have control over your card. 

How many cards can I register?
Unlimited. But the card(s) must have been issued from TopMark FCU. 

What if I am having trouble during registration?
Please use the Contact Us button at the bottom of the landing page.   

Why do you need my email address?
Your email address is needed in case you forget your password and need to reset it. 

Once I register my cards how do I manage and monitor my payment activity?
You can begin using the service immediately. By turning the card off the little green button in the top right corner of the card image will turn red. This means that all transactions (except for recurring) will be declined. When ready to make a purchase simply turn the card back on. It is that easy. Now you have the ultimate control to combat fraud. 

After you become comfortable with the on/off function, you can start selectively setting controls and alerts by channel (in-store, online, mobile, ATM, etc.) You can also set transaction spend limits, select geographic locations where the card can be used, set specific merchant categories, view recent transaction history, receive real-time alerts, and much more. 

What is a real-time alert?
It is an immediate notification sent to the app. You can select to be alerted on all your payment transactions including recurring payments or you can select just preferred transactions. Preferred alerts are available by spend limits, location, transaction type, and merchant category. 

By turning my card off am I closing my account?
No. Using the card controls does not change the status of your account. 

How long does it take for a control or alert setting to take effect?
It happens immediately after you set and save the option. 

If I have my card turned off will my recurring transactions go through?
Yes. Merchant recurring transactions will be approved. Additionally, you can select to receive alerts on recurring transactions as well. 

Can I use My Location, My Region, and International at the same time?
My Locations and My Region work independently or together, but neither can be used in conjunction with International. 

I turned my card on and set My Location. I was at the merchant, and my transaction was still declined. Why?
In the app go to Transactions, find the one that was denied, open it, tap the image so it rotates, and the control(s) that were evoked during the authorization will be listed near the bottom. The transaction could also be declined because of external factors like insufficient funds or fraud monitoring. 

What are Alert Preferences?
Alert preferences let you know every time a card transaction is attempted. You can be alerted for all or preferred transactions. Preferred alerts are also available by location, transaction type, merchant type, and threshold amount. 

When I get a new replacement smartphone, how do I begin using the service again?Just download the app to your new smartphone and log in with your current user ID and password. You can then set your controls and alert preferences. 

I received a new card number. Will it be automatically updated in the app?
You will have to add the new account to the app. This can be done by going to Manage Account and adding the card. Be sure to “unmanage" the old card. 

How long will my transaction history display?
The last 50 transactions will be displayed in the app for 30 calendar days. 

My pending purchase shows it is for more than I paid. Why?
Some merchants send pre-authorizations at higher amounts to test the card's validity. For example, a $25 gas purchase might display as $126. Pre-authorizations are common at the pump, hotel, or car rental agency. Even though the charge is listed in the app for more, it will clear your account for the correct amount.

I only want to manage one of my cards, but they're all being displayed.
To select the card(s) you wish to manage, go to Settings and choose Manage Cards. Then uncheck the card or cards you don't want to manage. Once a card is unmanaged, controls and alerts cannot be set for that card. 

What if my smartphone is stolen? How secure is the app?
The app requires a password to access the app. Also, there is no personal information stored on the smartphone. The app only displays the last four digits of your card number.
