Q: I just loaded the app and I see "Sign Up for Free" and "Login" buttons. How do I get started? |

If you are not the primary cardholder associated with the debit card, the primary cardholder will have to load SecurLOCK Equip on their smartphone if they want to manage their Cadence debit card. |
Q: I have multiple Cadence debit cards in SecurLOCK Equip. Can I set different preferences for each card? |
Yes. From the home screen, each of your cards should be visible under Cards. With each image, you can see “Debit ending in xxxx” so you can identify each different card by the last four digits of the card number. That’s how you can select each card individually to set your preferences for the card. |
Q: How do I turn the card off or on? |
From the home screen, touch the arrow on the row with the small credit card image to reach the Card Details screen. You’ll see Card ON/OFF just below the large card image. From this same screen you can set up your control and spending preferences as well as your alert preferences for this particular debit card. |
Q: When I turn my debit card back on after having turned it off for a while, how long does it take to start working again so I can use it for a purchase? |
In most cases, your card works almost immediately. |
Q: I noticed when I bought gas with my credit card that I received alerts for two separate charges, but I only bought gas once. Why did I see two alerts for different amounts? |
Some types of merchants (such as gas stations, hotels, and rental car companies) send an initial authorization transaction for a pre-set amount; they do that to make sure that the debit card and the account it’s connected to are valid and funded. When your purchase is complete, the merchant sends a settlement transaction for the actual settlement amount which replaces the original authorization. Sometimes that settlement takes minutes, but it may take up to 3 days to occur. You may never have seen that on your bank statement because by then the settlement has occurred and only the final settlement transaction amount shows on your statement. But since you see transaction information almost |
Q: Can I add a note about a particular transaction? |
Yes, select the transaction and you will see “Tag” and “Memo” at the bottom of the screen. You can tag a transaction as Personal, Family or Business in nature. And if you want to add a custom note, such as Possible Tax Deduction or College Expense, you can select Memo and type your note. |
