Built with security in mind

Your debit card includes EMV chip technology, adding an extra layer of protection to your transactions.

  • Each purchase creates a unique transaction code
  • More difficult for fraudsters to copy your information
  • Works worldwide - accepted across the U.S. and internationally

How it works

When you use your debit card:

  • Funds are pulled directly from your checking account
  • Some transactions may show as “pending” before fully posting
  • Your available balance reflects both posted and pending transactions

This is why your balance may look different for a short time after a purchase.

No-Fee ATM Access Network

By partnering with the Wisconsin Bankers Association (WBA) ATM Access Network and MoneyPass® you can withdraw cash surcharge-free from 24,000+ ATMs nationwide.
