Checking Account Enhancements!

Verified by Visa
Your VISA Debit card is now protected by Verified
by VISA - it password protects your card for free when you shop online. The next time you shop at participating online stores, you'll see some new screens. Enter the information requested to activate your card in order to complete your transaction. It only takes a moment, and then your card will have password protection whenever you shop online. Shop online with greater security at participating stores listed at www.visa.com/shopverified.

International ATM locations

Beginning April 2005, when you use your ATM/Debit or Credit card at a foreign ATM or for purchase outside of the US, you may notice an additional transaction on your statement.  The standard 1% fee that is normally charged by VISA or MasterCard for international transactions will now show up as a separate charge.  This processing change was made by VISA/MasterCard.
If you have a CME Great Card you will need to use a VISA PLUS® ATM Machine. Click here for international locations.
