The multi-purpose MasterCard® Debit Card allows you to make purchases from your checking account, as well as conduct transactions at any Automated Teller Machine (ATM). You never have to worry about forgetting your checkbook or running out of checks.
Purchases are deducted directly from your checking account, meaning you can write fewer checks.
Use your Debit Card anywhere the MasterCard® is accepted for 24-hour access to your funds.
Free transactions at any Liberty First ATM and at over 30,000 ATMs in our CO-OP ATM Network.
Your LFCU MasterCard® is valid for the entire month it expires in. For example, if your card says it expires on 2/27 then it will work the entire month of February. Your replacement card will be sent in the expiration month that is displayed on your card.

Many merchants’ terminals act differently when accepting a debit card as an EMV Transaction. Most terminals default into a PIN selection, but usually have a way to allow for a signature transaction. We feel that using the card with a signature protects you and maintains the confidentiality of your PIN, while allowing you to earn points and accumulate transactions for various Kasasa rewards.
Here’s how:
Always choose credit, when given the option.
Choose “Debit MasterCard” instead of Debit, when given the option.
Select “Change Payment” on the “Enter PIN” screen, if given the option – then select “Credit”
At a variety of merchants, you must ask the cashier how to process the card as a “credit” or signature transaction when the prompt for your PIN is displayed. Sometimes it is by entering the green “enter” option, other terminals require you to hit the red “X” or cancel button.
Finally, some merchants will need to swipe the card to allow for your signature. You will have to ask them to do so.
Remember, if you are a Kasasa account holder or utilize our rewards program, you must use the card with a signature to get points and/or accumulate monthly Kasasa transaction requirements. You can check how a transaction is counted within Online Banking. A debit card transaction that counts towards your qualification will be labeled “Withdrawal” and a transaction that does not count will be labeled “POS Withdrawal”.
