Our Debit Card is a fast and easy way to pay for everyday purchases. It offers the convenience of plastic versus carrying a bulky checkbook or a lot of cash. Whether you're running errands, buying groceries, shopping for clothes or dining out, you don't have the hassle of writing a check and presenting I.D. You can use the card anywhere VISA® is accepted.

It's an ATM Card, too.

Your First Heritage Debit Card will give you access to the same ATM services you have grown to rely on. Withdraw cash, transfer balances, make inquiries and point-of-sale purchases.

Our VISA debit cards are embedded with smart chip technology. for extra security and you can make secure and convenient purchases with Mobile Wallet

When using your Debit Card in a grocery store, or anywhere you insert your card, you will be given various choices (ATM, debit, credit, etc.) to select. This does not mean the purchase will be processed as a credit transaction, but it ensures that the Debit Card will be processed like a check instead of an ATM card.

The instant issue debit and credit card service offers First Heritage Federal Credit Union members the purchasing power of Visa right away.  Cards are printed on demand at our branch locations. For more information call toll free 800-833-3338.
