Regions LockIt
Regions LockItSM gives you the power to customize your Regions personal credit cards, CheckCards, prepaid Now cards and ATM cards to fit how, when and where you use them. Simply lock the controls for the transactions you want to block, and unlock them as often as you’d like — quickly and easily — from your Regions Mobile App or through Online Banking.
LockIt Controls
Select the controls to block the transactions that are right for your situation. If you misplace or lose your card, lock the All Transactions control until you find it or can report it as lost. If you just want to manage how your card is used, lock only the controls for the transactions you want to secure so you feel confident knowing your card is being used when and where you want.
LockIt offers four convenient types of card control:

LockIt controls will not block all transactions on your card.
- They will not block transactions processed when standard authorization systems are not used.
- They will not block merchant-identified recurring transactions, credits to your account, ATM deposits, ATM Now Card loads, ATM payments (including transfers from your deposit accounts to your credit accounts), ATM check cashing, ATM inquiries or ATM account mini statements.
- If your credit card provides overdraft protection to your checking account, they will not block overdraft protection advances.
Monitoring Blocked Transactions
Access the Blocked Transactions tab within LockIt on your Regions Mobile App or in Regions Online Banking to review the history of transactions that were declined due to a control you have locked on your card.
LockIt Alerts
To get alerts about declined transactions delivered to your mobile device, set up and manage LockIt alerts through the Manage Alerts tab on your Regions Mobile App. When you use Regions Online Banking to lock any controls, we'll automatically notify you by email each time we block a transaction. There is no set up necessary.

Why won't LockIt block card transactions when standard authorization systems are not used or unavailable?
"Standard authorization systems” refers to the network systems that are used to obtain actual authorization from issuers for card transactions. LockIt will not stop card transactions that are not processed through these systems, such as:
- When these systems are down and transactions are processed through alternative authorization solutions.
- When a merchant chooses not to get authorization.
