Planning to Travel?
We want your next trip to be as hassle free as possible.
At Northrim Bank we are serious about keeping you safe from debit card fraud. As part of this effort, we may block transactions from specific states, regions or countries due to fraudulent activity trends. See the chart below for current blocked areas.
To avoid uninterrupted service with your Northrim Bank Business Visa® Check Card due to blocked transactions, please notify us at least one business day prior to your departure. Notifying Northrim will help ensure your check card purchases are not blocked by our fraud monitoring systems in most cases. Without notification of travel, we may block usage of your check card when suspicious transactions or transactions in blocked areas are identified.
To notify us of your travel plans, please do one of the following:
- Email the following information to cardservices@nrim.com
- The last eight digits of your card number*
- The first and last name of the cardholder
- Dates and destinations of travel
- Contact our Customer Service Center at 562-0062 or toll-free at 800-478-2265
*Do not include your entire card number, account number, or any other pesonal information as the email is unencrypted.
