How do I report my debit card as lost or stolen?

If your card is lost or stolen, here's what you can do:

  • Report the card as lost or stolen through online or mobile banking. If the card is no longer in your possession, follow the numbered steps below to cancel the card number and replace it with a new one. There's no need to wait for a banker, and we'll send it to the address on file.
  • Temporarily lock the card through online or mobile banking. You can lock it through digital banking so you can keep searching, while your account is secure. If you find the card, the lock can easily be removed. See also: How do I lock or unlock my debit card?
  • Call and speak with a banker at 800-USBANKS (872-2657). We'll cancel the card number and replace it with a new one. We accept relay calls.
    • Let the banker know if you want the card sent to the address on file, or if it should be sent to an alternate address. 
    • To protect you from potential fraud, shipping to an alternate address cannot be completed through digital banking. 

While waiting for your new card to arrive, a copy of your virtual card is available in your digital banking. Your virtual card can be used online, at the ATM or wherever contactless purchases can be made. Please see: How do I find my debit card number (virtual card)?

To use your virtual card at the ATM or for a contactless purchase, add it to your mobile wallet. To add it, see: How do I add a debit card to my digital wallet?
