August 15, 2022: Card upgrades require members to RePIN their UMFCU & Interfaith FCU Debit cards by calling 800-290-7893.
Debit cards, also known as check cards, look like credit cards or ATM (automated teller machine) cards, but operate like cash or a personal check. Debit cards are different from credit cards. While a credit card is a way to “pay later”, a debit card is a way to “pay now.” When you use a debit card, your money is quickly deducted from your checking or savings account.
You can use your card anywhere merchants display your card’s brand name or logo. It’s a great alternative to carrying a checkbook or cash.
What is the difference between a debit card and a credit card?
Debit means “subtract.” When you use a debit card, you are subtracting your money from your own bank account. Debit cards allow you to spend only what is in your bank account. It is a quick transaction between the merchant and your personal bank account.
Credit is money made available to you by a bank or other financial institution, like a loan. The amount the issuer allows you to use is determined by your credit history, income, debts, and ability to pay. For more information on credit cards, visit our Visa page.
