When to Use PNC Easy Lock

  • Misplaced your credit card? PNC Easy Lock puts you in control by allowing you to lock it when you are unable to locate your personal or business credit card, so no new purchases or cash advances can be made until you unlock it. You should continue to monitor your account activity for unauthorized transactions or errors while the card is locked. 

  • Locking your card is fast and can ensure no new purchases or cash advances will be accepted. However, recurring transactions to merchants may still go through.[2]

  • PNC Easy Lock is not a replacement for reporting your card as lost or stolen. If you need to report a lost or stolen card, please contact us immediately at 1-800-558-8472.
