Free Debit Cards

Over the past month, there has been quite a bit of publicity about debit cards in the national media. The attention has resulted from a recent announcement that a large national bank will begin charging their customers a monthly fee of $5 for using their debit card. Other large banks have been considering this strategy so there may be more that come forward in the future.

This is a great opportunity for the Lisbon Credit Union to share the benefits of our VISA Debit Card program. If you have a checking account with us, you’re eligible for a debit card that can be used for both point of sale transactions and ATM withdrawals. Here’s the best part—regardless if you use your card once per month or 100 times per month, there is NO monthly fee. Also, you can make ATM withdrawals with your card at over 200 SURF Network locations across Maine for FREE!

The $5 debit card fee may not seem high now but consider the cost over time--$60 per year and $300 over 5 years. That’s a lot of money! Please spread the word about our free debit cards and if you don’t currently have a checking account, contact a Member Service Representative today to make it happen.
