Visa® CheckCard FAQs
Yes. A CheckCard is a debit card linked directly to your checking account. It works like a debit card for purchases and ATM withdrawals and transactions, but may also include additional benefits, such as a rewards program. Every CheckCard transaction is deducted from your checking account, just like a standard debit card.
There are a number of potential reasons why the transaction you are attempting is not being authorized. Some of them may include:
- Transaction restrictions established or the card fully blocked through Manage Cards in online banking. Go to the Card Management area inside Exchange OnLine to review your current card settings.
- After twelve months without being used, your Visa CheckCard becomes inactive.
- You may have accumulated more than three PIN or transaction failures. Please contact us to verify and reset.
- You may be over your card's transaction limits for the day.
- The business accepting your card over the phone may not be inputting the security code or expiration date accurately.
- Funds in your account may not be available at this time.
- Your account may be overdrawn, or you may be at your maximum overdraft limit.
- If your card is not working as you expect, please contact us so we may investigate.
National Exchange Bank & Trust does not know or have access to your CVC number. If you would like to write it down, please keep it in a safe place and do not include your card number with it. If you do not know your CVC and cannot read it, you will need to order a replacement card from your local office to complete any transactions over the phone or online.
If you know your current PIN, you may change it via Exchange Line using your card number and Exchange Line Personal Identification Number or by visiting your nearest office. If you do not know your current PIN, you may request a PIN reminder be sent via the US Mail or visit your nearest office to customize a personal PIN.
A CheckCard reversal occurs when a transaction on your Visa® CheckCard is canceled or refunded after it was initially processed. This could happen if:
- You returned a purchase to a retailer.
- A merchant made an error on the transaction.
- A transaction was disputed or found to be incorrect.
Once a reversal is processed, the funds are returned to your checking account. Depending on your bank and merchant, it may take 1–5 business days for the reversal to appear on your account statement.
Tip: Always check your account online or via your mobile banking app to confirm that the reversal has been completed.
