Controls and Alert App Disclosure

The Controls and Alerts App periodically collects, transmits, and uses geolocation information to enable features that prevent fraudulent card use and send alerts, but only if the member expressly authorizes collection of such information. Geolocation information can be monitored on a continuous basis in the background only while the Solution is being used or not at all, depending on the member’s selection. Members can change their location permissions at any time in their device settings.

What We Do

How does Verve protect my personal information?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

We collect your personal information, for example, when you

  • Show your government ID or apply for financing
  • Provide account information or open an account
