When are the benefits to using this card?

The Check Card is faster, safer, and smarter than using cash or checks for purchases. There's no need to carry extra cash or wait for check approval. Best of all, there's no bill to pay later for these purchases, because the amount is taken directly out of your checking account.

Does the Visa logo mean it's a credit card?

Absolutely not! The Check Card is not a credit card. With the Check Card, you access funds from your checking account - not a credit account, so there is no monthly bill.

You must have sufficient funds in your primary checking account when you use your card to make a purchase.
