5. THE LINN AREA CREDIT UNION CARD MANAGER SERVICE
5.1 The Linn Area Credit Union Card Manager Service provided by Linn Area Credit Union is a service that gives you access to account information. Please note that we may add new services from time to time.
5.2 The complete range of services offered as part of our Linn Area Credit Union Card Manager Service may include:
5.2.1 Travel Notification Service allows you to self-report travel plans. This allows Visa to analyze transactions that are near your destination and within your travel range to reduce unnecessary declines. This is available for Visa cards only, provided by Linn Area Credit Union. You are responsible for providing accurate information to minimize the risk of fraud. This product does not guarantee a charge will not be declined during travel, it only assists in automated decision making;
5.2.2 SMS (text), Push (application), and Email alerts;
5.2.3 Customer Transaction Controls is offered as an opt-in service. Circumstances exist whereby card controls may not work or may be ineffective at prohibiting the sale of products or services. For example, blocking Alcohol and Tobacco Merchant Category Codes (MCC) will not prohibit sale of alcohol and tobacco at a Convenience Store MCC. The time required to apply or modify card controls may not occur in real-time if technical issues arise.
The scenarios that Visa and the issuer may not see authorization requests for, and therefore cannot apply card controls, include:
- Transactions below a merchant’s floor-limit
- EMV offline approved transactions if supported by the issuer’s card product.
- Non-Visa networks that perform Stand-in-Processing on behalf of the issuer processor
5.3 The Linn Area Credit Union Card Manager Service is normally available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year apart from planned downtime, circumstances beyond our reasonable control, outages on any mobile phone network, or where you are not in an area of mobile coverage.
