Once approved, your debit card is printed while you wait!If I select the “Credit” option for a purchase do I incur debt?
The card works the same for purchases whether you select the “debit” or “credit” option. You must subtract the amount of your purchase from your checkbook.What is the difference between selecting “Credit” or “Debit”?
If the transaction is processed with the “Credit” option your signature is required. If the transaction is processed with the “Debit” option you are required to input your PIN.Is there any reason I would ever want to use the “Debit” option?
If you want cash back over the amount of your purchase, you would have to press “debit” or “ATM” and then enter your PIN.Are the funds withdrawn from my checking account immediately?
No. Once the purchase is authorized, that amount is held against your current balance until the transaction comes through. It will be deducted from your account within two or three days for a signature (Credit) transaction, or within the same business day the PIN (debit) transaction was made. For card transactions, a Business day is a regular calendar day, Monday through Sunday, and resets at the end of each day at midnight CST for dollar and transaction frequency limitation purposes.What are my daily transaction limits?
