Introducing Our New Look Visa Debit Card

Tower Credit Union is pleased to announce an exciting update to our current account services. As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing your banking experience, we are transitioning our debit cards from Mastercard to Visa.

All existing and new current account holders with active debit cards will receive a new Visa Debit card, delivered directly to your home. Your new card will offer trusted Visa benefits, enhanced security features and the same convenience you rely on for everyday spending, online shopping and worldwide transactions.

The Benefit of Visa Debit

Visa Debit is accepted at millions of locations around the world, bringing you a seamless, secure and convenient payment experience wherever you go. The new look Visa Debit card includes modern design features to further enhance card usability and accessibility.

• Your new debit card has printed card details such as the long card number, expiry date and CVV instead of embossed details to improve clarity.
• All your personal details are now in one place on the back of the card, making it easier to read.
• We have changed to a portrait card design that reflects the way you use your card, slotting into chip readers and ATMs
• An accessibility notch at the end of the card making it easier for visually impaired to insert it correctly into chip readers and ATMs
• Visa Secure makes it even safer for you to shop online. Visa has developed a program that helps confirm your identity when you make an online purchase. It’s a free service that protects your debit card against unauthorised use online.
• Use Apple Pay, Google Pay or Google Wallet for a safer way to make contactless payments.

What You Need to Know

There is no action required from you until your new card arrives. Your existing Mastercard will remain active until you activate your new Visa Debit card.

What To Do When You Receive Your New Card

• Activate your Visa Debit card as soon as possible.
• Once activated, securely destroy your old Mastercard by cutting it in two.
• Add your new Visa Debit card to your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet
• Remove your old Mastercard from your digital wallet.
• If you have subscriptions or recurring payments linked to your current debit card, remember to update your payment details with your new Visa Debit card information.

We look forward to bringing you this updated service and continuing to provide modern, secure and convenient banking solutions for our members. If you have any questions, please contact our team who will be happy to assist.
