1- Is this a credit card?
The MasterCard® Card is a self funded, electronic use only, credit card. The Maestro Card is a stored value debit cash card. Which means that for both cards, you can only spend or take from an ATM, what the available balance is on your card.

You must activate your card once you receive it. Complete instructions on how to do so are included with your card.

Generally, funds should be available to you on the same day or next day we have received the funds and instructions.

9- How will I know my Card balance?
There are several ways to keep on top of your account balance. The easiest way is document your deposits and withdrawals to calculate your balance. If you have Internet access you can visit the website and use your card number and Account Access Code to log into the site. Once you're on the site you can see your up-to-the minute account balance and view all transactions you've made. You can also call the Customer Service Phone numbers 24-hours a day to hear your account balance and to hear your last 5 deposits or withdrawals.

11- What happens if I use up all of the money in my Card account?
If you use up all of the money on the card, you can always add more money to the account to continue using it until the expiration date. Otherwise, if you have used up all of the money on the card and it is expired, please destroy the card by cutting it up.

15- How can I change my account information?
You can change account information such as the billing address associated with your Card by calling customer service or logging into the secure website.

16- When I view my transaction history, what does "pending" mean next to some of my purchases?
A notice of 'pending' next to a merchant's name on your statement means that while we have received notice from that merchant that you spent that amount at their store or web site the merchant hasn't yet sent through the final amount for payment. This notice, called an authorization, is done to make sure that your card is valid and to tell us to put on hold that money in your account until the merchant sends through the final transaction amount for payment. When we receive that final notification (usually within 3 days of the purchase) the transaction is considered 'settled' or 'posted,' and the amount of that transaction is taken out of your account.

Λ- TOP

17- Why is there an unfamiliar merchant name listed on my statement? I don't remember shopping there.
There are several reasons why this might happen. Some stores are part of a larger corporation that may have a different name than the store name. And other merchants choose to do their credit card processing under a different company name.

18- What should I do if my Card gets lost or stolen?
You must call the customer service number or log on to the secure website to report the card lost/stolen, and then contact customer service.

22- What transactions are allowed at an ATM?
An Automated Teller Machine (ATM) allows customers to perform banking transactions anywhere and at anytime. By using a debit or ATM card at an ATM, customers can withdraw cash from checking or savings accounts. You must use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to withdraw cash from your MasterCard® cards. Some ATMs also allow customers to make a deposit or transfer money from one account to another or get cash advances using a credit card. Individuals should be aware that many ATM's charge extra transaction fees.

24- Will I get charged a fee if I use my card to withdrawal cash at an ATM?
The financial institution that owns and operates the ATM may charge a fee to the person withdrawing cash; they must disclose that fee for each ATM transaction before that transaction is completed.
