*Feature to lock or replace a card

Lock

You can temporarily lock your card as many times as you need and unlock it whenever you want. These actions are immediate when you request them in your online bank.
No time limit comes with the action of locking a card.
When the card is locked, no transactions can be made on the card. No pre-authorized debits can be processed. You can, however, pay the balance on the card.

Replace

The action of replacing your credit card is irreversible and cancels automatically the actual card. You can only replace your credit card 3 times in a 12-month period.
No transactions or pre-authorized payments will be accepted on a replaced credit card.
Once your replacement request has been made, you will receive a new credit card with a new number in the mail. You must provide this new number to merchants with whom you have pre-authorized payments to avoid fees.
You must activate your new credit card before using it.
