1. A method, implemented by a computer system, of providing a website that is accessible to a mobile device with an output display device, the method comprising:
authorizing, by the computer system, based on a card-on status of a credit card that enables the credit card for electronic payments, a first electronic payment being processed with the credit card;
serving, by the computer system, the website to the mobile device over a telecommunications network;
presenting, by the computer device and on the website, a visual interface that:
identifies the credit card,
graphically indicates the card-on status that enables the credit card for processing electronic payments, and
provides a selectable icon for disabling the credit card;
accepting, by the computer device and via the website, a first selection submitted via the selectable icon to disable the credit card;
disabling, by the computer system, the credit card based on the first selection such that the credit card has a card-off status that disables the credit card for subsequent electronic payments;
modifying, by the computer system, the visual interface to graphically indicate that the credit card has the card-off status; and
declining, by the computer system based on the card-off status, a second electronic payment being processed with the credit card subsequent to the first selection.
