Debit Cards

A Dillard’s Federal Credit Union chip technology-enabled VISA® Debit Card lets you pay for purchases at millions of places VISA® is accepted. The purchase amount is deducted from available funds in your credit union checking account. You can also use the card to access your accounts at ATMs that display any of the logos on your check card.


Courtesy Pay/Overdraft Protection

Courtesy Pay adds a layer of protection to your personal checking account. How? Courtesy Pay may cover your insufficient funds’ items, up to a limit of $500, for a $30 fee per covered overdraft transaction.

This means that instead of returning a check to the merchant because of insufficient funds, the credit union may pay your item, saving you additional charges from the merchant. The small fee associated with Courtesy Pay protects you from receiving returned checks and NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) fees. It also saves you the embarrassment an inadvertent overdraft can cause and helps you protect your credit rating.

You may opt-out of Courtesy Pay at any time by asking us to remove the service from your account(s).
