Lost, stolen, or misplaced card
Is your card lost, stolen or misplaced? Temporarily lock it in the BankSA App to secure your savings. Or, if you can't find your card, report it now to cancel permanently.
Extra security is just a tap away
If your card is missing, you can temporarily lock it for up to 15 days using Card Lock. This gives you time to search for it or decide what to do next. While your card is locked, no transactions can be made using the physical card or any digital wallets. If you find your card, you can unlock it and use it instantly. Otherwise, you can report it as lost or stolen to cancel the card and request a replacement.
Lost, stolen, or misplaced card?
Lock your card instantly
Temporarily lock your card in the BankSA App by selecting the lock icon. This helps prevent unauthorised transactions.
If you find your card, you can unlock it the same way in the App. It will also be ready to use immediately in any linked digital wallet.
Cancel your card for good
Cancel your card and order a replacement by reporting it lost or stolen in the App.
Your digital wallet will be updated with your replacement card and, in most cases, you can use it without activating your new card.
