When you schedule a repeating transfer for the same To and From accounts as an existing reminder you've set up, the reminder is removed. If email notification options are available when you set up the repeating transfer, you can select those options to receive email about your transfer.

What is a repeating transfer?

The automatic transfer of a specified amount of money from one account to another based on a schedule that you set up.

CardValet

Will the balance be updated to include non-debit card transactions?

The balance will be updated to reflect non-debit card transactions. The balance is updated the next time you log into CardValet. You should always refer to Online Banking, Mobile Banking or ATMs for the latest account balances.

Why are Balance Inquiry transactions generated when I log on to the CardValet app?

When you log on to the CardValet application, a Balance Inquiry transaction is performed to retrieve the display the balance. A balance inquiry is performed on every account listed. The application will not initiate more than one balance inquiry within 30 minutes if you press the Refresh button. You should always refer to Online Banking, Mobile Banking, or ATMs for latest account balances.

Does the app show recent transaction history?

Yes, the app shows the 50 most recent debit card-based transactions posted within the past 30 days.

A threshold limit of $50 has been set, but the user can fill gas in some stations for more than $50. Why?

CardValet controls are only invoked during the authorization of a transaction. In some cases, such as Gas Stations, a card may be tested for validity by doing a $1 per-authorization, and the actual transaction amount is charged to the card after the transaction. Some gas stations will do as a pre-authorization for a maximum amount, e.g. $126, and some gas stations will check validating, e.g. $1. In the latter case, the actual transaction amount may exceed the limit, while in the former case, an authorization may be denied.

A threshold limit of $50 has been set but the user can't fill gas in some stations. Why?

There are some merchant types where a merchant will pre-authorize the card for an amount that may be larger than the actual transaction amount. In this instance the pre-authorized amount must meet the threshold spend limit.

If I am traveling, do I still need to inform Ixonia Bank to ensure access to my card?

Yes. Ixonia Bank fraud protection rules are still in place for every transaction looking for fraudulent activity. These rules supersede CardValet settings. Please inform us of travel plans by calling our Customer Solutions Department at 920-262-6952 or 262-567-5295 or stop in at your local branch during business hours.

Are the alerts sent as email or "push" notifications to the device?

CardValet alerts are sent as push notifications to the phone. The alerts also display under "Messages" in the CardValet app.

How long does it take for a control or alert setting to take effect?

Settings take effect as soon as the "Updating information" message in the app stops.

I swiped my card at a local merchant, but was still declined due to the “My Location” or “My Region” control, why?

There are some local merchants that use out of area processors for their card transactions, those transactions may be declined for these types of merchants if the “My Region” or “My Location” controls are active. Please deactivate this control and attempt the purchase again.

What happens if "My Location" is set but the phone is left at home? Will transactions be denied outside the "My Location" area?

CardValet performs a proximity check at the granularity of zip code or city, so if the merchant is close to home then the transactions will still go through.

If "My Location" is set but the primary device is off, will transactions get denied outside of the "My Location" area?

CardValet ignores locations information that is more than one (1) hour old. So if the phone is off for more than an hour My Location controls will not take effect, and the transaction will not be denied on the basis of the old location information.

What exactly is the range of the "My Location" control, and will this control setting impact internet transactions?

The My Locations controls and alerts will check to ensure the merchant location is within a five (5) mile radius of the device set as "primary" within CardValet. These controls impact "card present" transactions only, therefore internet transactions are not impacted.

What is the difference between the “My Location” control and the “My Region” control?

The “My Location” setting matches the cardholder’s location using the primary mobile device’s GPS and the merchant’s location based on the ZIP code or city that has been setup for the merchant. The “My Region” setting is established using city, state or ZIP code on an interactive map, this option does not require you to carry your primary device at all times.

What are Controls and Alerts? What is the difference between a control and an alert?

Controls can be used to restrict transactions based on certain parameters, whereas alerts are only notifications that a transaction has been conducted or attempted. Controls facilitate the on/off CardValet setting, as well as limiting usage based on merchant type, location, or transaction amount. Alerts can be set to notify you based on the parameters you chose regarding merchant type, location, transaction amount, or you may choose to be alerted for all card transactions.

What if I lock myself out while attempting to enroll for the CardValet service?

If the requested information is entered incorrectly three (3) times your registration will be suspended for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes registration can be attempted again. If the information is entered incorrectly three (3) more times you will need to contact Ixonia Bank Customer Solutions Department at 920-262-6952 or 262-567-5295 to verify we have the correct information on file and have your registration reset.

Can multiple cards be linked to one registered CardValet account?

What are the CardValet password requirements?

Business Online Services

I am still having problems with Business Online Banking. What do I do now?

If you still encounter problems, please call our Business Services Team at 262-560-7327.

How do I get setup?

Our Business Services Team would be happy to help you get started. You may contact them at 262-560-7327 or bizservicesteam@ixoniabank.com.

When will a Stop Payment request be processed?

Your Stop Payment order will be processed instantly if you are authorized on an account, and as long as it doesn't require a second authorization. Please note that the Business Services Team will still contact you for the required signature on a paper Stop Payment form, but your electronic order will still be processed. The regular stop payment fee applies.

Why do I receive an error message when I use the browser's "Back" button?

As a security precaution, the "Back" and "Forward" buttons will not allow you to navigate within Business Online Banking. To avoid this error and the need to sign back in, practice using the site's quick drop down menus to move from page to page. The session will also expire if you have been inactive for 20 minutes. This is to prevent unauthorized use of your accounts.

How can I organize my accounts on Business Online Banking?

Your accounts can be placed in an order that is best for you. In addition to giving them unique nicknames, you can group them in any number of categories. For instance by account types, names of persons responsible for different accounts, account purposes, or by any other grouping!

Which accounts can I access?

You may have access to any account within Ixonia Bank that you are authorized to use. This can be a combination of business and personal accounts, as well as different types. You may view as many or few as you choose, while another person at your company may view different or fewer accounts at your discretion.

When I log in I receive the message "Log In Information is Missing or Invalid," what does that mean?

Your Access ID and Password are case sensitive and must be entered exactly. Be sure that all characters are entered properly as upper or lowercase, and check to see if the Caps Lock key is enabled.

Do I need special software to use Business Online Banking?

No special software packages need to be installed on your computer other than a quick download for ACH transfers. Outside of that feature, the program is run entirely from a secure website. All you need is the proper internet browser, either Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, Mozilla Firefox Version 44 (or higher), Google Chrome Version 44 (or higher), Apple Safari Version 9 (or higher), Opera Version 30 (or higher), and any version of Microsoft Edge.

Why do I get "locked out" if I forget my password?

To guard against fraud, if you (or an unauthorized person) try to log in with the wrong Username or password three times in a row you will be unable to log in until the password has been reset. If you can't remember it and are locked out after trying three times, we will be happy to verify your identity and reset you.

Why am I asked to change my password sometimes when I log in?

For added security, our Online Banking system will ask you to change your password every 90 days to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your valuable information.
