To activate your card and set your PIN, contact our Integrated Voice Response (IVR) system at 800.757.9848. If you lose or forget your PIN, simply contact IVR and follow the prompts to choose a new one.
Due to a sharp increase in fraud occurring in certain countries we have implemented a VISA Fraud Rule to decline all debit transactions from the listed countries. View a list of blocked countries here.
Lost or stolen cards?
ATM or Debit Card: Call 800.472.3272 or complete our PIN Reorder Form
Credit Cards: Call 877.221.6612
The above numbers will only restrict your ATM, debit card or credit card. If your entire wallet or purse has been lost or stolen, please also contact the Credit Union at 305.545.0744 option 2 to restrict access to your account.
Other tips to consider if your card has been reported lost or stolen
- Notify all of the participating merchants with whom you’ve set-up automatic bill payments ( with the card as lost or stolen)
- Once we issue you a new card, you'll need to re-establish automatic bill payments with your new card by contacting participating merchants. Otherwise pre-established payments will not be made and you may potentially incur late fees/and or loss service with the merchants.
