A debit card may be locked for a variety of reasons, including if the cardholder has exceeded their daily spending limit, if the card has been reported lost or stolen, if the cardholder has provided incorrect information when making a purchase, or if the card has been used in a suspicious or fraudulent manner. In these cases, the card issuer will generally lock the card to protect the cardholder and their funds.

Why would my debit card be locked?

Your debit card may be locked for a few different reasons, such as if you entered the wrong PIN too many times, if there were suspicious activity on your card, if you reported your card lost or stolen, or if your bank detected a potential fraud. To unlock the card, you may need to contact your bank or card issuer and provide some verification information.
