Your debit card is becoming a Visa card
You'll soon be able to enjoy the benefits of Visa. In an effort to provide you with valuable financial tools and benefits, we’re transitioning your debit card from MasterCard to Visa.
What It Means for You
- You’ll receive a new card with the Visa logo.
- This replaces your current card—activate it as soon as it arrives.
- On March 9, 2026, your current card will be automatically disabled. You must activate your new Visa debit card before this date.
- Keep your MasterCard debit card in a secure location and destroy and discard it on March 9 when it is disabled.
What Will Change
- Your card number, expiration date, PIN, and security code. When activating your new debit card, you can use the same PIN you previously used.
- You’ll need to update stored payment info for recurring payments (utilities, streaming, subscriptions, etc.).
What Will Stay the Same
- Your existing account terms.
- Your checking account number, routing number and access to your funds.
- How you access your account through digital banking.
- Your direct deposits, such as Social Security, Payroll and Pensions, as they are set up with your account number, not your debit card number.
- Our commitment to your security and satisfaction.
Rest easy—there’s nothing you need to do now. We’ll share more info as the transition gets closer. Keep an eye out for your new card.
