SecurLOCK Equip FAQs
Introduction and Registering
SecurLOCK Equip is a new mobile app that allows you to control how, when and where your ASECU MasterCard credit card is used. It is a simple and secure way to manage and monitor your payment transaction activity. SecurLOCK Equip can help keep your payment cards safe and provide instant notifications whenever your card is used.
SecurLOCK Equip requires you have an ASECU MasterCard credit card. You will also need an Apple or Android smartphone. After downloading the app you will be instructed to enter your debit card number, along with other authentication information. Once registered you can begin using the app immediately.
It’s simple. For Apple devices download the app from the App Store, and for Android devices download the app from the Google Play Store. Once the app has been successfully downloaded to your smartphone you can begin to register your cards.
No. It is provided to you free so you have more control over your card.

Controls & Alerts
No, standard limits set by ASECU take precedence over any controls set within SecurLock.
You can begin using the service immediately. By turning the card off the little green button in the top right corner of the card image will turn to red. This means that all transactions (except for recurring) will be declined. When ready to make a purchase simply turn the card back on. It’s that easy. Now you have the ultimate control to combat fraud.
After you become comfortable with the on/off function you can start selectively setting controls by channel (in-store, online, mobile, ATM, etc.). You can also set transaction spend limits, select geographic locations where the card can be used, set specific merchant categories, view recent transaction history, receive real-time alerts and much more.
It is an immediate notification sent to the app. You can select to be alerted on all your payment transactions including recurring payments, or you can select just preferred transactions. Preferred alerts are available by spending limits, location, transaction type, and merchant category.
No. Using the card controls does not change the status of your account.
It happens immediately after you set and save the option.
Yes. Merchant recurring transactions will be approved. Additionally, you can select to receive alerts on recurring transactions as well.
My Location and My Region can work independently or together, but they cannot be used in conjunction with International. If travelling, you still need to contact ASECU with your travel destination to avoid any interruptions.
In the app go to Transactions, find the one that was denied and open it, tap the image so it rotates, and the control(s) that were enacted during the authorization will be listed near the bottom. The transaction could also be declined because of external factors like non-sufficient funds or fraud monitoring.
Alert preferences let you know every time a card transaction is attempted. You can be alerted for all or preferred transactions. Preferred alerts are also available by location, transaction type, merchant type, and threshold amount.
Only the primary device will receive alerts. Use the settings menu in the app to set your device as primary.
Managing the App
Just download the app to your new smartphone and log in with your current User ID and password. You can then set your controls and alert preferences.
You will have to add the new account to the app. This can be done by going to Manage Account and adding the card. Be sure to “unmanage’ the old card.
The last 50 transactions will display in the app for thirty calendar days.
Some merchants send pre-authorizations at higher amounts to test the card's validity. For example, a $25 gas purchase might display as a larger dollar amount. Pre-authorizations are common at the pump, for a hotel stay, or for a car rental. Even though the charge is listed in the app for more, it will clear your account for the correct amount.
To select the card(s) you wish to manage, go to Settings and choose Manage Cards. Then uncheck the card or cards you don't want to manage. Once a card is unmanaged, controls and alerts cannot be set for that card.
Press the icon that has three stacked lines to reach the menu. This icon is usually found in the top right corner.
Detailed information can be found throughout the app. Help can be found at the bottom of the login page and listed in the menu. On specific pages such as the My Location page tapping the “i“next to My Regions will open a window with detailed information on how the control works.
The app requires a password to access the app. Also, there is no personal information stored on the smartphone. The app only displays the last four digits of your card number.
