Debit Cards

The benefits of a debit card

Payment convenience and safety
You don't have to carry a bulky checkbook or large sums of cash when you go out shopping.

Wide merchant acceptance
Debit cards are more widely accepted than checks - even when you travel - and let you make Internet purchases.

Fast, easy payment process
There are no checks to write, and no need to present an I.D. or other personal information at the sales counter.

Easier qualification
Because debit cards use your own money at the time of sale, they are often easier than credit cards to obtain.
