American Chartered Bank Visa® Debit Card
Faster. Easier. Safer.

Our FREE Visa® Debit Card, with no transaction fees, is a benefit that you receive with all checking accounts at American Chartered Bank. Our card combines traditional ATM access with the convenience of a Visa® Debit Card. It's the best way to pay. Everyday!

Why should I use my Visa Debit Card?

Faster.

Using your Visa Debit Card for everyday purchases is faster than writing a check or searching for cash in your wallet. Cut down on your time in the grocery line!
Easier.

Never wait for someone to cash your check again. When you use your card, the money for the transaction is directly debited from your account!
Safer.

All transactions are backed by Visa's Zero Liability. That means you won't be responsible for fraudulent charges when reported in a timely manner!
