The app is available to both checking and money market account customers with active debit cards and Android® or Apple® devices. “At Ally, we continuously innovate and strive for exceptional convenience for our customers,” said Diane Morais, president of Consumer & Commercial Banking Products at Ally Bank. “Giving Ally Bank customers the ability to proactively control, monitor, and manage card usage with the tap on the Ally Card Controls app provides cardholders peace of mind related to their debit card.” The app allows customers to set preferences, such as: • Having the instant ability to turn a debit card on and off when it is misplaced or stolen. • The ability to set a per transaction spending limit. • Enabling or disabling specific categories of merchants such as groceries, fuel, online shopping, entertainment or travel, to control card usage. • The Location Awareness Controls setting allows cardholders to keep their debit card active around their phone, or only within a specified region on a map.
