Automated Fraud Monitoring

YOUR DEBIT CARD IS AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED

These two-way fraud alerts are free. If we ever suspect your card is being used fraudulently, we’ll send you a real-time text, email or phone call asking for your Yes/No confirmation. If it is fraud, we will immediately shut down your card.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: After logging in to the Mobile App, go to More on the lower right of the Accounts screen. On the Account Services screen, select Card Controls.

You will then see a list of your debit cards. Active debit cards which are available for Card Controls use are by default set to "ON" the first time you view them. Suspended cards which are not available for Card Controls are displayed as “OFF.”

Setting Card Controls to "ON" or "OFF" 

  • Next to Card Status, use the ON/OFF toggle to set the debit card status as being active or suspended.
  • Setting the card status to “OFF” suspends all activity on the debit card. The status must be set to “ON” to use the debit card.
  • A debit card must be in “Active” status to add Declines and Alerts.

Setting debit card Alerts & Controls

  • Choose the debit card you want to set, make sure the Card Status is set to Active/ON and select the Set Declines and Alerts button.
  • The Set Declines and Alerts screen will open with three options:
    • Send Alerts for all transactions, next to a toggle bar
    • Transaction Type
    • Spend Limits
  • Next to Send Alerts for all transactions, you can set the toggle to ON to receive Alerts for all transaction types: purchase, ATM, Internet Purchase, Mail/Telephone Order, or Non-US Purchase.
  • To set up an Alert for a specific Transaction Type only, choose Transaction Type for a list of options. Tap the option(s) for which you want to receive an Alert. Set the Send Alerts option to ON. When an Alert is turned on, you will see a blue bell next to it.

Automated Fraud Monitoring is a service Old National debit card holders are automatically enrolled in. If we ever suspect that your card is being used by someone other than you, we’ll send you a real-time text alert, email or phone call and ask for your confirmation.

Both Card Controls and Automated Fraud Monitoring are free services, and together they provide a double layer of protection for your account and debit card.
