MASTERCARD® CREDIT CARDS
Tips

1.) Create a list of credit card numbers with the phone numbers of the card
      companies and keep it in a safe place so you can reference the list if your card 
      is stolen or lost.  Do not carry this list out in public with you.
2.) If someone calls you asking for your card number, do not give it to them.  If it is 
     someone claiming to be from an organization you have done business with in 
     the past, it is best to politely tell them you will find the company phone number 
     on your own, don't rely on them giving it to you, and then call to verify that the 
     phone call is legit.
3.) Save receipts and closely compare them to your monthly credit card statements.
4.) When online, make sure the page you are giving your credit card information on 
      is secure and is a reputable organization.
5.) Be cautious mailing your credit card payments in.  The mailbox at the end of 
      your drive doesn't have a special detection device that only allows the mail 
      carrier to open the box and take out the mail.
6.) If there is any documents with your account number on it that you will throw 
     away, make sure you shred it first.



VISA® DEBIT/CHECK CARDS
Information and Tips

1.) This is not a CREDIT CARD!! Each transaction will Debit your checking account. 
      You must have the funds available for the transaction to be accepted.
      (There is a $20.00 NSF fee or $20 Courtesy Pay fee that will be accessed if the 
      funds are not available in the account.  If the transaction requires overdraft 
      protection it will charge a $4 fee for each transfer.)
2.) Do not use your Debit Card over the internet. Use a Credit Card instead.
3.) You have a $500 on-line daily limit. You have a $300 daily off-line limit.
4.) You can use the VISA® CHECK CARD worldwide, wherever the VISA logo is 
      displayed. Please notify the credit union as a courtesy if traveling outside of the 
      country so we are aware that the charges that may appear are legitimate.
5.) Press the Credit function whenever possible. If you are denied a transaction, 
      then select the ATM/DEBIT function and enter your PIN (personal identification 
      number).
6.) You will need to use your PIN NUMBER when accessing your account via ATM 
      MACHINES.
7.) Always carry a few emergency checks with you, in the event that the VISA 
      NETWORK is not working. Some things are beyond our control.
8.) Always update us on any address and phone number changes. The card may 
     not work if the addresses are different.
9.) Hotels and restaurants may "hold" more funds than the amount of the bill, to 
      allow for any tips or gratuities:  However, the transactions will pay for the correct 
      amount.
10.) You will need to activate your VISA CHECK CARD before it will work. The 
        instructions come with the card. 

****Privileges for using the card may be revoked for mishandling of the account 
      and/or the debit card. If you have questions about this please call the credit 
      union.
