    • Verify that there is a Contactless symbol on the transaction terminal.
    • Tap or hold your Mastercard within 3 inches or so to a transaction terminal.

    A contactless card payment utilizes a Radio Frequency (RF) technology, allowing cardholders to “wave” their Contactless card over a Contactless-enabled point of Sale (POS) terminal. The embedded antenna transmits the payment info to the Contactless-enabled terminal using a one-time use code with each transaction. These new features allow for a secure, fast, and easy transaction process.

    Your Astera Credit Card comes with complimentary Fraud Alert alerts.  Fraud Alerts help fraud prevention by providing 24/7 monitoring of card activity to help protect your account(s) against fraudulent transactions. When unusual spending or transactions appear on your card you will receive a text message asking you to confirm the transaction. If the transaction is not yours by responding to the text will prompt us to block the card and report unauthorized usage.

    There are multiple ways to report a card lost or stolen.  If you misplaced your card but think it is not lost for good you can log into your Astera Card Controls App and lock your card by clicking the green padlock in the bottom left corner of the card image and the padlock will turn red. Now your card is temporarily blocked.  If you find your card click on the padlock again to allow your card to be used for transactions again.  If you ultimately deem the card lost in the Astera Card Controls App you can click on the image of the card. In the bottom right corner of the screen click on lost/stolen and follow the prompts to close your card.

    The second option if your card is lost or stolen is to call us at 800-323-0048 and choose the option for lost/stolen card to speak to a representative and they will close your card.

    Finally, you can visit us at any branch location and one of our team members will help you close and replace your card.
