VISA Debit Cards

A Visa Debit Card works like a check – only better. Just present the card at the time of purchase, and the amount will be automatically deducted from your checking account. With every purchase, you’ll get a receipt for easy record keeping. You can also review your transactions on your monthly statement and by logging into CU@Home online banking. The Visa Debit Card eliminates the need to carry bulky checkbooks, multiple identification cards, and large amounts of cash. The Visa Debit Cards are accepted worldwide at businesses that accept Visa cards, and with the debit card, you’re in and out of the stores in no time. The Visa Debit Cards are free with all SSCU Checking Accounts. Get Started Now!

Courtesy Pay

We understand. It happens to all of us.

  • You make an honest mistake in your checkbook

  • You’re a little short on cash 2-3 days before payday

  • Unusual or unforeseen circumstances popped up at just the wrong time

That’s why SSCU offers Courtesy Pay, an added member service that protects your checking account when an inadvertent overdraft occurs. Courtesy Pay may cover your insufficient fund’s items up to $300.00, for one $35 fee per covered overdraft transaction. That means, instead of returning a check or ACH to the merchant because of insufficient funds, or denying a debit card transaction, SSCU may pay your item, saving you additional charges from the merchant collection companies. Repayment must be satisfied within 45 days, or your checking and /or share accounts could be subject to closure.

Courtesy Pay:

  • Protects you from merchant returned check charges

  • Protects you from the embarrassment of a “Bounced Check”

  • Protects your good credit

SSCU reserves the right not to pay any item if your account balance is not sufficient to cover the item. SSCU may not pay items beyond the $300 Courtesy Pay limit.
