Your Village Bank Mastercard is going touch-free!
We’re upgrading your existing Village Bank Debit Card to a new contactless card. This means that anywhere contactless payments are accepted, you’ll be able to simply tap your card on the payment terminal to complete your transaction. No need to hand your card to someone else or insert it into the card reader. Just look for the Contactless Card symbol wherever you use your Village Bank debit card to just tap and go!
What You Need to Know
- Please keep an eye on your mailbox for your new card. Follow the enclosed instructions to activate your contactless card.
- If you currently have recurring payments scheduled using your current debit card, you will need to contact those merchants to provide your new card information.
Important! If you have recently moved or will be away from home in the coming weeks, please contact us today to ensure your new contactless card arrives safely.
How to Use Your Contactless Card
- Look for the Contactless Wave Symbol on the payment terminal.
- Hold your contactless card 1-2 inches from the payment terminal.
- Go! That’s it! Your payment has been processed.
If a merchant doesn’t accept contactless payments, you can simply insert or swipe your card as usual. Your PIN will still be required for certain debit card and ATM transactions.
Advantages of Contactless Cards
- Accessibility
Designed with accessibility in mind, our cards now include an important detail – a small notch that could make a big difference. The Touch Card feature creates an accessible system of payment cards with unique, tactile notches so anyone can identify their cards with just a touch. - Mobile-Friendly
It’s easy to add your Village Bank Mastercard® to your smartphone or wearable device, giving you the freedom to pay the way you want. - Safety
Your card never leaves your hand, reducing the risk of loss or counterfeit, and each purchase is uniquely encrypted. You’re also protected against double billing, and accidental payments, even if you accidentally tap twice.
