What is a Visa Check Card?
A credit union Visa Check Card is a convenient,
quick, and easy way to access your checking account without a
checkbook, to make purchases or obtain cash at automated teller
machines like these Non-Surcharging
ATM Locations.
It combines the conveniences and acceptance of cash, the safety
and economy of a check, and the speed of an ATM card. A Visa
Check Card actually works like a check giving you access to
funds in your checking account without the hassle of writing
a check or waiting for check approval.
How does it work?
Your credit union Visa Check Card is a welcome alternative
to cash or check at any merchant location worldwide that
accepts Visa, or any ATM location displaying the Visa logo. Instead
of carrying cash or writing a check in the checkout line simply
give the merchant your Visa Check Card. You will sign a receipt
to confirm the purchase and a copy of the receipt will be given
to you for ease in recordkeeping. Use the receipt to record purchases
or ATM Cash advances made using your Visa Check Card, in your check register. The purchase amount will automatically be deducted
from your checking account balance and every transaction is detailed
on your checking statement.
What are the advantages of a Visa
Check Card?
Unlike traditional checks, a Visa Check Card
is hassle-free, providing an alternative to conventional check
use. When you use a credit union Visa Check Card there's no check to write. No checkbook or additional identification to carry.
No delays waiting for check approval.
Whether it's taking care of your grocery list, filling up the gas

in a restaurant the credit union Visa Check Card is perfect for
everyday purchases.

Is a Visa Check Card like a credit
card?
No. With a credit card you are actually borrowing
money against an established line of credit which you must repay,
either all at once or in the form of extended payments.
A Visa Check Card is another way to make your checking account
more flexible. When you make purchases or take an ATM cash withdrawal
with your Visa Check Card, you are accessing funds available in
your checking account. Transactions are automatically deducted
from your checking balance so you must insure that sufficient
funds are available in your checking account for purchases or
cash withdrawals. No interest or finance charges are paid on Visa
Check Card transactions.
Will the Visa Check Card eliminate
checks?
Not necessarily. For some transactions, such as
a mortgage payment, rent or other bills paid by mail, a checks
may be the easiest way to make the Payment. Your Visa Check Card
is not intended to completely eliminate the use of checks,
but rather to be used to enhance your checking account, giving
you more flexibility and value added Convenience.
Are there limits on the use of my Visa Check Card?
Yes. To prevent fraud on your account, there are daily limits imposed on the use of your Visa Check Card. Those daily limits are: Any combination of (9) or $2,500 in ATM or point of sale transactions. If these limits have been met, any further transactions will be denied.
Is there a fee to use my Visa Check Card?
No, the Visa Check Card is FREE for unlimited use.
