Have you activated your card? It must be activated, and a PIN must be set for the card to work.
If you have activated your card, there are several reasons why a card could become restricted. In each of these scenarios, our Branch employees do not have visibility in to the cause of the restriction, but we are happy to help you when you call the number on the back of your card.
Some common card restriction issues are:
- A transaction that has been flagged as potential fraud
- A card has exceeded the total maximum number of PIN entry attempts (3) and is now blocked from PIN transactions (ATM withdrawals, PIN authorizations at a merchant terminal)
- A card has exceeded the maximum number of consecutive declines for non-PIN / signature transactions (3), and has been restricted from non-PIN / signature transactions
- A card has been restricted because it was reported lost or stolen. A replacement card is reordered when the cardholder calls the number on the back of the card to report the card lost or stolen at the cardholder’s request.
If your card is declined for any other reason, please call KeyBank at 866-295-2955 (if you receive benefits from the state of Indiana, call 833-459-3452) and request to speak to a customer service representative. Clients using a relay service: dial 711, then the toll-free number on the back of your card.
