ATM Access
Section contents:


Although you can choose between the classic global accessibility or the exclusive B-2 Image, this one card serves two purposes: ATM transactions; plus direct debits to your Share Draft (checking) account just as if you wrote a check. You gain flexibility because you can use the card to make purchases wherever Visa is accepted.

At Norteller ATMs, you can deposit, withdraw or transfer funds from your Share Draft, Regular Share,  Money Market or MoneyMaster Line of Credit accounts and change your Visa ATM/Check Card PIN. You can also use the card to get cash from your NGFCU Share Draft and Regular Share accounts at ATMs on the StarCirrus and CO-OP networks around the world.

 
 

Use the card as a check card on the Visa and Interlink networks where you can make purchases and often get cash back without writing a check to the merchant. Using your card is like "writing a check" but in the virtual world. The Visa point-of-purchase limit is $2,500.


Eligibility
Any member with an open Share Draft account and an average daily balance of $250, subject to certain restrictions related to checking account history. An overdraft protection source is also required to be eligible for a Visa ATM/Check Card.
