Debit and ATM cards are two of the most popular ways to access money in your checking account. Apple River State Bank offers a debit card when you open your checking account. When you use a debit card, the money comes directly from your checking account, just like when you write a check. Debit cards will also usually double as your ATM card, allowing you to withdraw cash or deposit money at an ATM machine.
Debit cards may look like credit cards with a MasterCard® logo on them. However, they are not credit cards. A debit card will not help you build a credit rating when making purchases because the money comes directly from your checking account.
Apple River State Bank offers a generic debit card, an Apple branded debit card as well as six local school mascot branded debit cards.
Some banks offer you an ATM card that allows you to withdraw money from your checking account, but only through an ATM machine. Unlike debit cards, ATM cards do not have the MasterCard® logo and, in most cases, may not be used to make store purchases directly.
