Frequently Asked Questions About Your

CUMONEY® Visa® Everyday Spend Card

Is my CUMONEY card the same as a credit card?


No, your card is not a credit card. You can only spend the amount of funds that are available on the
card.

Is my CUMONEY card like a debit card?


Yes and no. Like a debit card, you may use the Card at participating merchants that accept Visa debit
cards. Also, you may spend only the funds available. However, unlike a debit card, a credit union
account is not associated with the Card.

Where is the Card sent and who can use the Card?
The Card is sent to the Cardholder’s physical address provided at enrollment. Only the Cardholder
whose name is on the Card may use the Card.

How long does it take to receive a Card?


It will take 7-10 days.

What if I don’t receive my Card within 7-10 days?


If you requested a Card more than 10 days ago and have not received your Card, please contact your
Credit Union.

How do I activate my card?


You will need to activate your card prior to first use of the card. Please call the toll-free number on
the card carrier to access the automated service. Follow the prompts, entering the last 4 digits of the
telephone number that you provided upon purchase and create a new PIN. Your card is now
activated and ready for use.

You may also go to www.cumoney.com to activate you card. Click on Account Login and then Visa
CUMONEY® Everyday Spend in the drop-down menu. One the new page, click on Activate My Card,
enter your card number and follow the prompts through the information fields to activate and
register your card and select your PIN. Your card is now activated and ready for use.

Where can I use my card?


Your card can be used for purchases where Visa debit cards are accepted.

How do I know what I have spent and/or check my balance?


You can check your balance and transactions at any time by accessing the CUMONEY® mobile app,
visiting our website, www.cumoney.com, or by calling the toll-free number, 1-833-729-2843.

Are all payment of purchases handled the same way?


No, there are differences with some transactions as they are authorized. Merchants can process the
card and request an authorization before the final purchase price is known. Cards used at automated
fuel dispensers (pay at the pump) will automatically request and hold a minimum authorization of
$75. Restaurant purchases are authorized an additional 20% to allow for tip. In both cases, only the
final amount authorized by the cardholder will be deducted.
Transaction amounts for all Visa authorizations will be held against the available balance until final
settlement occurs, usually done within 3 days. Some transaction amounts for Visa authorizations at
merchants such as hotels, cruise lines and car rentals can be held against the available balance for up
to 5 days.

Can I use my card to make a purchase larger than my balance?


No, but you can utilize the remaining balance on your card towards a purchase and pay the
difference with another form of payment. Always check the balance of your card before making a
purchase and check with the merchant to make sure they can split the payment if there are not
enough funds on the card to cover the full amount of the transaction.

How do I add funds to my card?

How to avoid an ATM Surcharge fee?

Money Market), which do I choose?
Always select “CHECKING” when making an ATM withdrawal.

grocery stores, select “DEBIT” and enter your PIN to request cash back as part of your purchase.
Some retail stores may charge a fee. Ask before making purchase.

Can I make purchases on the Internet with my card?


Yes, you can make purchases on the Internet up to the available balance.

card on the 3rd live representative call.

How do I change my PIN?
