SecurLOCK Equip FAQ

SecurLOCK Equip is a new mobile app that allows you to control how, when, and where your debit and/or credit cards are used.  It is a simple and secure way to manage and monitor your payment transaction activity. SecurLOCK Equip can help keep your payment cards safe and provide instant notifications whenever your card is used.

Magnolia State Bank has partnered with FIS to provide this app for our debit and credit card holders.

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

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.

No. It is provided to you free so you have more control over your card.

Unlimited. But the card(s) must have been issued from Magnolia State Bank.

Both debit and credit cards can be registered.

Android™ – version 4.1 or later and Apple® (iOS) – device model 4S and newer with iOS operating system version 6 and newer.

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

Yes. Touch ID is available for newer Apple mobile devices that have the biometric feature enabled. You can turn on this feature by going to the security section in settings. To use this feature, close the app but do not “log out”. After 7 days of not utilizing the app, Touch ID will not work and you will need to reset by logging into the app with your password and exiting the app without logging out.

Not at this time.

The Passcode is an additional setting provided by the app. If a user sets a passcode, each time the user navigates away from the app and comes back, the user will need to enter the passcode before the app will display the last page accessed. Users who set a passcode can have a longer session time than users who do not set a passcode.

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 to red. This means that all transactions (except for reoccurring) will be declined.  When you are ready to make a purchase, simply turn the card bank 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.

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.

No. Using the card controls does not change the status of your account.

It happens immediately after you set and save the option.

Yes. Merchant recurring transactions will be approved. Additionally, you can select to receive alerts on recurring transactions as well.

Where My Locations and My Region work independently or together, neither can be used in conjunction with International.

In the app go to Transactions, find the one that was denied and 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 over the daily limit, non-sufficient funds, or fraud monitoring.

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.

Only the primary device will receive alerts. Use the settings menu in the app to set your device as primary.

Just download the app to your new smartphone and login with your current user ID and password. You can then set your controls and alert preferences.

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 once your new card has been activated and the old card has been deactivated.

There is a “Help” function within the app as well as a “Contact Us” button that will display the Magnolia State Bank contact information.

The last 50 transactions will display in the app for thirty calendar days.

Some merchants send pre-authorizations at higher amounts to test cards' validity. For example, a $25 gas purchase might display as $126. Pre-authorizations are common at the pump, for a hotel stay, or for a car rental. Even though the charge is listed in the app for more, it will clear your account for the correct amount.

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.

Press the icon that has three stacked lines to reach the menu. This icon is found in the top left corner.

Detailed information can be found throughout the app. Help can be found at the bottom of the login page and listed in the menu. On specific pages such as the My Location page tapping the “i“ next to My Regions will open a window with detailed information on how the control works.

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.
