Debit Cards, Credit Cards And ATMs

ATM Deposits

When you deposit funds into the ATM, your account is immediately credited in the amount of $225.00. Your account is credited the remainder of the funds from your deposit, if over $225.00, in the next business day’s nightly processing.

Preauthorized Fuel Purchases

Many times, when you use your ATM/debit card to purchase gas, the gas station preauthorizes your account for a higher amount than the typical gas purchase to ensure that you have plenty of funds available for your gas purchase. Once you have pumped your gas, they then credit your account in the amount of their original preauthorization, and then debit your account for the amount of gas that you actually pumped. The preauthorization and subsequent credit transactions will disappear from your account in our nightly processing, so you will not see them on the following business day.

Personal Debit Card Limits

All debit cards have a daily limit. For more information on your daily limit give us a call. If you plan to make a large purchase using your debit card, give us a call at 1-800-922-8742 for a temporary card limit increase.

Debit Card Use While Traveling

If you plan on using your debit card while traveling, please let us know when and where and we will place a memo. Travel memos placed on debit cards don't eliminate all chances of having a debit card purchase declined by Visa for suspected fraud.
