Member Card/ATMs

Some of our Member Card holders are having issues with using the tap feature at specific merchant terminals. These cards still function using the Chip and PIN transactions, and will also work using Mobile Payment options, such as Apple Pay.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, as we work towards a permanent solution. Please check out our page on Mobile Wallets to see how to set up your smart phone as a payment option and a reliable alternative for tap functionality.
