Super news! Suncoast Credit Union Visa Rewards Debit Cards now come with built-in chip technology to help protect your data.

When you use your card at a chip-activated card reader, the embedded chip generates a one-time use code. This code is virtually impossible to counterfeit and helps reduce in-store fraud.

These new cards are not only more secure – they’re also easy to use.

If a chip-activated card reader is available, follow these easy steps:

1. Insert the chip end of your card into the card reader with the chip facing up.

2. Keep your card in the card reader throughout the transaction and follow the prompts on screen.

3. Remove your card when prompted and take your receipt.

If a merchant cannot accept chip transactions, simply swipe your card to pay as usual.
