Card security settings
Card security settings in the app
You can enhance security in payment card use by deactivating the appropriate options. If a transaction is rejected because of security settings, you’ll be notified in the app.
Physical card
When a physical card is closed, this also suspends ecommerce and ATM use but you’ll still be able to pay with your phone and watch. Automatic payments will continue to be debited.
Ecommerce
When the ecommerce option is deactivated, you’ll still be able to pay with your phone and watch.
Contactless payment
Deactivating contactless payments will also deactivate payment using a phone and watch.
Non-Icelandic card use
When the option to use the card abroad is suspended, the card will still work in ecommerce transactions.
Use in ATMs
Closing the card for ATM use prevents all actions in ATMs.
