As we approach the end of the year, we’ve rolled out important security updates for your amnis cards - ensuring peace of mind during the festive season.

The amnis team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a fantastic start to 2025. Thank you for being a loyal amnis customer - we can’t wait to share more with you in the new year!

New features for enhanced security

In response to recent industry-wide incidents, we’ve introduced new measures to ensure the safety of your amnis cards:

  • POS & online payment control: You can now disable online or in-store payments for each card, tailoring them to specific use cases - whether for online subscriptions or in-store purchases.

    • New cards: POS payments are disabled by default for virtual cards, while online payments are disabled for physical cards - both settings can be customised during card creation or anytime later.

  • Country restrictions: We have updated the country restrictions for all existing cards. Globally activated cards are now limited to countries where they have been used previously, reducing exposure to fraud.

    • New cards: Newly issued cards, or cards that haven’t been used yet, will be limited to countries within the EEA and Switzerland. Additional countries can be added during card creation or later, as needed.

  • 3D Secure (3DS) authentication: If 3DS authentication is triggered and the cardholder doesn’t have an amnis account or 2FA enabled, the request will go to the first card admin. If the admin doesn’t recognise the transaction or lacks 2FA, it will be denied for security reasons.

    • To avoid interruptions, the administrator can (re-)invite cardholders to ensure they are registered with amnis and/or have 2FA activated.

  • Improved login notifications: You’ll now receive email and mobile app alerts when a login on a new device was detected.

Our top tips for added security:

  1. Limit card usage to specific countries where the cards are actively used.

  2. Set daily or monthly spending limits per card.

  3. Temporarily suspend unused cards to prevent unauthorised access.
