Account Fraud
We’re always keeping an eye out for suspicious activity on your account. We do our best to keep your hard earned dollars protected from being used by someone else. Our recent addition of the EMV security chip to our BluCurrent cards is a great example of how we are constantly striving to protect your account. But, have you ever wondered what happens when your account is being used by a fraudster? We’ve got your back:
If we detect fraud, your card will be temporarily blocked and you will receive a text message to verify the transaction. If you do not respond within 5 minutes, you will receive a phone call to verify the transaction.
- If you respond the transaction is yours, your card will be unblocked, so you can complete your transaction.
- If you respond the transaction is not yours, your card will be permanently blocked. You will need to contact BluCurrent Card Services at 417-887-1983 ext 1475. One of our friendly staff members will assist you in getting a new card ordered.
- If you do not respond after both the text and phone call attempts, you will be sent a letter in the mail and the card will remain temporarily blocked until we receive a response.
