Store your debit card for hassle-free transactions

Today, we can order food, home goods, and even a ride to a friend’s house instantly online. By keeping your debit card on file with the retailers you use most often, you’ll enjoy a streamlined checkout process with enhanced security.

Simplify your online shopping experience

One-click payments can be a lifesaver when you need to get something now. Keeping your debit card on file with your most-used apps and sites ensures you don’t have to waste time re-entering your information with every purchase. Whether you're buying groceries, clothing, or something for your home, the ability to complete transactions swiftly lets you finish shopping quickly and get back to the other things in your life.

Get more secure transactions

Keeping a card on file greatly reduces the risk of exposing your debit card information to potential fraudsters and scammers. Online retailers use secure gateways and encrypted transfers to ensure your information is under a digital lock and key. Additionally, you can keep an eye on your transactions via online banking or our app. You can even set up text alerts to notify you if there is any suspicious activity on your account.

Keep recurring transactions running smoothly

Streaming services. Utilities. Cell phone plans. Monthly subscriptions. By keeping your debit card on file and selecting auto pay, you can effortlessly manage your bills while also avoiding any interruptions in services by missing a payment—which could result in late fees.

Ensure on-demand transactions are instantaneous

From food delivery to ride shares, and every on-demand service in between, keeping your card on file makes sure you can get what you want when you want it. Plus, many on-demand services offer additional discounts or rewards programs when you save your debit card with them. And when you’re out in the real world, you can always make an on-demand transaction even when you don’t have your debit card on you—just save it to your digital wallet and you’re good to go.

Put a card on file and your mind at ease

Online shopping is easy. Keeping your debit card on file at your favorite retailers and on-demand services makes every transaction even more seamless. From simplifying the checkout process to avoiding late fees to improving security and fraud protection, it’s a convenient and secure way to manage your finances.
