Credit, Collections & Insolvency News
Credit card provider, Halifax has announced that customers will now have a greater range of options to control where and how they use their credit card with access to ‘card freeze’ through their mobile app, allowing them to stop their credit card being used in a number of different ways.
Card Freeze lets customers choose which types of transactions are allowed from their Halifax app. Customers who may have mislaid their card, at home or abroad, can simply “freeze card” transactions. Once they find it, they can just “unfreeze” with ease. Customers can also exercise greater control over any additional cards, avoiding unexpected spending sprees and choosing which transactions can or can’t be made on all cards linked to their account, including online purchases.
Elyn Corfield, Managing Director Consumer Finance, said “Through our new mobile banking app functionality, Halifax customers can enjoy greater confidence that their cards are safe and now have more options to manage their day to day finances through freezing and unfreezing spending on their credit card, giving them extra peace of mind.”
