Yes, Glass City Card Controls is a unique mobile app where you create your own username and password that is different than your home banking sign in.

This mobile app is meant to give you, the cardholder, full control of your Glass City debit and credit cards for easier management. The app allows you to quickly check the balance of your credit card, as well as block or unblock your credit and debit cards to prevent any unwanted transactions from occurring.

You search for Glass City Card Controls on your mobile phone’s app (Apple iTunes or Google Play) store. You then follow the directions to create a user name and password, and then add your Glass City Debit and Credit Card information (you must add one card at a time). Please see Registration instructions on Glass City’s Home Banking site and also the Visa Credit Card and Visa Debit Card page at glasscityfcu.com.

There are a variety of functions that this mobile app provides. For both debit card and credit card management, you can view pending and posted transactions, set controls and alerts which enable you to block or unblock specific transaction types, lock or unlock your card with a single touch, report a card as lost or stolen, set travel notifications regarding your destination and dates of travel, and file a dispute. Additional functions for credit card management include the ability to view payment history, and make a payment or schedule a payment for a specific date.

Registered cards are in the unlocked position as a default. You may desire to lock your card with a single touch for a variety of instances, such as: you misplaced your card but you know it is not lost or stolen, you have exceeded your monthly spend budget, you want to protect your card from fraud, etc.

Go to the “Account Summary” screen and in the lower left corner of each card registered you will see a green “Unlock” button. Simply tap the button to lock your card; upon locking, the button will become red to indicate that the card is locked. Tap the button again, to unlock your card.

At login, you will be taken to the “Account Summary” screen which displays your downloaded card(s). Simply tap the card you would like to view and you will be taken to the “Transactions” screen, where you will see the various function icons at the bottom of the screen.
