Debit Cards

What does Anywhere ATM mean?

Anywhere ATM means that Bank of Central Florida card holders can use their debit card at any ATM within the U.S. and the fee will be reimbursed. Accept the fee when using an ATM and Bank of Central Florida will reimburse the ATM withdrawal fee for you.

What if an ATM presents a withdrawal fee?

Press YES to accept the fee and continue with your transaction.

Bank of Central Florida will reimburse the ATM withdrawal fee for you no later than the second business day after the transaction date.

How does the ATM withdrawal fee reimbursement appear on my account?

ATM withdrawal fee reimbursements will show on your account with a description of "ATM SURCHRG REVERSAL."

When can I expect to receive my contactless debit card?

You should receive your card within 7-10 business days.

What should I do about recurring payments on my account that are charged to my old debit card?

Anytime a new debit card is received, the expiration date and 3-digit security code changes. After activating your card, you should provide the updated card details to merchants that automatically debit your account.

Do I need to notify the bank before I travel internationally?

Yes. If you are traveling internationally, it is advisable to call your Relationship Manager or the bank directly to notify us of your travel plans so your card can be flagged as such. Informing us of your travel plans in advance alerts us to debit card activity that might otherwise appear as suspicious or fraudulent.

In addition, if you utilize our featured app SecurLOCK® and store you debit card within the app, you can place the card on freeze if you do not intend to use it overseas.

Will my debit card work at all ATMs?

Yes. Your card will work at chip-enabled ATMs and at ATMs where only magnetic stripe transactions are accepted.

Are chip cards secure?

Yes. Chip technology is already the security standard in many countries around the world. When purchases are made using the card at chip-enabled terminals, the transaction is more secure because of a unique process that is used to determine if the card is authentic. This makes the card more difficult to counterfeit or copy.

Remember, if you notice any suspicious card activity on your account, notify us immediately by calling the number on the back of your card.

What do I do when my card expires?

Shortly before your card expires, you will receive a replacement card in the mail. The card number and PIN will remain the same. The expiration date and security code will change; therefore, you should inform merchants that automatically debit your account using your card. Once the new card has been activated, please destroy your old card.

How can I activate my debit card?

Two options are available for activating your debit card:
  1. Call 855-731-8013 for 24/7 voice response activation, using your phone number on file with the bank; or
  2. Use the card with your current PIN, or system generated PIN at any ATM or merchant location. A system generated PIN is received by mail in a secure envelope.

How can I change the PIN on my debit card?

To change your current debit card PIN, call 855-731-8013 using your phone number on file with the bank and follow the voice response prompts. You will be prompted to enter the existing PIN before a new PIN can be chosen. If you experience a problem while changing your PIN, please contact your Relationship Manager or the bank directly. Remember that a secure PIN helps protect you from unnecessary losses. Use a PIN that only you would know. Do not use a number that can be determined using information found in your wallet, and never disclose your PIN to anyone.

How can I order a debit card if my current card is damaged?

Please contact your Relationship Manager or the bank directly to have your damaged card replaced.

How can I report my card lost, stolen, or having fraudulent activity?

Please call Debit Card Support at 800-379-2603 to report your card lost, stolen, or having fraudulent activity, preferably from your phone number on file with the bank.
