Cash at the Beach
Summer vacation time is finally here! While you're lazing away at the beach or unpacking at the hotel, the last thing you want to think about is how you're going to pay for all your travel incidentals.
It's a smart move to pack your Tower debit card before you leave. For many people, it's more convenient to carry a small, plastic card instead of a wad of cash. It's a great way to pay on the road for purchases at millions of locations where Mastercard® debit is accepted.
There's peace of mind knowing you won't have a credit card bill to deal with after your trip. And using your debit card allows you to budget your travel funds.
Getting cash
Imagine it's beach time and you're craving some ice cream, or you need to rent a chair or an umbrella. You'll need cash. Plan ahead and use Tower's Mobile App's ATM Locator to easily find a fee-free ATM nearby. So, whether you're on the boardwalk in Ocean City or eating at Thrasher's in Rehoboth Beach, we're nearby. How convenient is that? Need to find an ATM in Honolulu? No problem. There are over 30,000 fee-free ATMs nationwide. Just look for CO-OP Network or CU HERE logos.
Overseas
If your trip this summer is international, rest assured that your Tower chip debit card will be accepted wherever you see the Mastercard logo. Keep in mind that withdrawal limits are set by the ATM's owner and can vary by country and location.
Travel Tip #1
Take this step to protect your account. Call Tower, or log in to Digital Banking, and fill out a Debit/Credit Card Travel Notification Form (it's under Additional Services). To help protect against fraud, we may place a hold on your account if we see activity from a flurry of unfamiliar merchants, so, let us know before you go where you are going and when.
Travel Tip #2
Take with you Tower's toll-free number (866-570-1238, or 515-457-2082 outside the U.S.) if going overseas in the event one of your cards is blocked, lost, or if you suspect card fraud. Call immediately to request that your card be disabled to prevent further unauthorized transactions.
