A compromised card is a card that is at risk of being used fraudulently. Cards may be compromised due to any type of suspicious activity, including: skimming, computer theft, unauthorized network intrusion, etc.

We take every compromise seriously and issue replacement cards for affected customers. As part of a routine practice, VISA® communicates with us about data compromises that have occurred. A compromised card account has been identified as having a high likelihood for fraudulent activity. To protect your card and account, we have elected to reissue you a new card.

Some merchants will pre-authorize a debit or credit card to ensure that it is a valid and active account, essentially placing a $1 hold on your account. The pre-authorization amount will remain until the merchant submits the actual amount of the transaction for payment and it posts to your account. Once the payment posts, the $1 pre-authorization will come off your account. This process typically takes 2-3 business days.

Yes, there are some practical steps you can take to help protect yourself:

  • Check your account statement regularly and immediately report any transactions that you don’t recognize.
  • Destroy all receipts before discarding them since some of them may have your card number printed on them.
  • Guard your card – don’t use it as collateral or give out your card number to someone on the phone, unless you initiated the call for a purchase.
  • Check your credit report at least annually to ensure its accuracy.
