TCF Bank community banking director Kevin Miller said: “Our daily lives are getting busier and adding our lock and unlock feature makes it easier for customers to bank with us if they lose or misplace their debit cards.

“Customers can instantly lock their debit cards in the way that is most convenient for them, putting the control in their hands and providing greater peace of mind.”

After the debit card is locked, all transactions made at ATMs, online or in-store are blocked.
